Last Shabbat was National LaShon Hara (hurtful speech) Awareness Day. LaShon Hara is not about lying. It is about hurting others with the truth. This morning we talked about saying unkind things to others. As we approach the end of the Elul, the Hebrew month of Repentance, we are challenged to "bite our tongues, " and avoid..
Speaking negatively about someone else (even if they don't hear us)
Saying something that may cause damage to another person or their property
Saying something that may cause embarrassment, humiliation, pain or fear
Saying something that is not mean, but still causes embarrassment or humiliation
Take the LaShon Hara challenge and avoid saying anything hurtful all week long.
