Proper Speech Lesson of the Day- 6th of Cheshvam

Please Say/Whisper the Words out Loud
In the merit of this learning may Shlomo ben Kayla, Gilad ben Aviva, and Ron ben Batya each be blessed with health, happiness, and returned speedily to their families.
I
If someone reveals to you some seemingly neutral information in a manner which shows that they would like it kept secret, you should not repeat it to others. This applies even if he does not explicitly tell you to keep the information secret. You don't have to understand their reasons for wanting it kept secret but have to respect it. This will prevent you from causing them harm.
II - examples
Binyamin called Mendel away from the group an told him, "I plan to take a trip in 2 weeks." Mendel should keep this a secret.
Esther whispered to Yehudis so that no one else should hear, "I have $10,000 saved up in the bank." Yehudis should not repeat this to others.
(Guard Your Tongue by Rabbi Zelig Pliskin)
Create a wonderful day!
