What you'll find
An interactive weekly newsletter from the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation focusing on speech-related halacha and positive interpersonal values for the family table.
Summary
This issue of Aderaba presents two distinct halachic scenarios: (1) a shailah about whether it's loshon hora to tell one's sister that hosting guests the whole summer might be 'too much,' followed by practical guidance on phrasing such requests properly, and (2) two unrelated stories illustrating the power of positive speech—one about a young lawyer's encouraging words transforming a pencil vendor into a successful businessman, and another about misjudging a man whose phone rang during davening due to his hearing aids malfunctioning.
