Please Say/Whisper the Words out Loud Mazal Tov Chava bat Rochel! May you and your chatan be blessed with health, happiness, and only revealed good. May you merit to build an eternal home, with a strong foundation of Torah and Mitzvot.
Friday - 3 Kislev The Baal Shem Tov would say that other people serve as a mirror for us. Whenever we see a negative trait in someone else it is because we have it in ourselves. If someone sees the good in someone else, it is because they themselves are worthy.
Shabbat - 4 Kislev Being careful with how we speak can be very difficult. As we begin refraining more and more from speaking negatively of others, we may notice that we still may desire to speak it, in spite of the dramatic improvement in our character.If we find ourselves slipping, its important to remember not to get down on ourselves and not to give up. We should be happy with our efforts. Take encouragement every time we think of speaking negatively and don’t. Be delighted every time we want to say something destructive but refrain. Take pleasure every time we catch ourselves. It is difficult. Dont be discouraged by small failures, but instead, build on our small successes!
