Lesson 1 It
is very easy to learn these lessons and think about how other people
insult and cause pain with their words. It is easy to remember times
when you have been insulted. But this wontn help improve our speech. We
need to apply what we learn to ourselves. Keep asking "when have i done
this to someone else?" "what do i need to do to be careful about in the
future?"
Lesson 2 Any statement that
is not lashon hora in itself, but will cause lashon hora to be spoken,
is termed avak lashon hora (a tinge of lashon hora). While this isn’t
as serious as actual lashon hora, it is prohibited and very important.
