Please Say/Whisper the Words out Loud
In merit of this learning may Maor Ben-Nissan and Alan ben Helene Lassry* each be blessed with an immediate refuah shleima bitoch shaar cholei yisrael!

Friday- 12 Cheshvan
From this weeks Torah portion, parshat lech lecha, where G-d tells Avraham very specifically what to leave and where to go, we learn how important it is to be specific in order to avoid misunderstandings. Every word we say is important. When we say something, the more specific we are, the less chance there is of misunderstanding occurring.

Shabbat - 13 Cheshvan
How many arguments include the words "But i thought you meant..."? How much lashon hara/negative speech is caused by ambiguity or by one word misquoted and substituted for another? Many tragedies have been brought about through a misplaced word?

Create a spiritual, joyous and holy shabbat!
Shabbat Shalom!

* Maor Ben-Nissan and Alan ben Helene Lassry are the two people injured in the shooting at the synagogue yesterday.
