Hello,
Today we begin a new topic: Laws of Lashon HaRa (harmful speech) and the mandate to use our mouths in positive ways.
We actually did this topic a few years ago, but:
(1) It's always worth review, and
(2) I plan to add more this time around.
Mekor Chaim is the Chafetz Chaim's work on the laws of Lashon haRa, and I'll be working from that text. (His oft-quoted Shmirat haLashon incorporates law, but is a lot broader than that.)
"Four sins are so great that they warrant punishment in this world, but their core punishment remains for the next world: Idolatry, sexual immorality, murder, and evil speech is the equal of them all."
(Talmud Yerushalmi, Peah 4a)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
