Being conscious of distinctions like can actually have a transformative effect on us, instilling humility and refining ourselves spiritually. Speech in general is a hugely powerful gift, and the Torah gives us really helpful direction on how to use it sensitively. In this week’s talk we discuss some highlights from this giant topic.
