Day 203: Shabbat

This week...not stellar. In fact, it was far from stellar. That mistake I made overshadowed my whole week and generally made me feel cringeworthy at best all week. There were also bright spots though, many of my friends showed a lot of support despite my choice and were there to listen and for me to cry to. In addition, I got to bond with a couple friends I haven't seen in a long time and froyo never tasted so good. Lastly, I somehow managed not to fail my online course, I scrape by with a passing grade!

Day 204: "The Dust of Forbidden Speech"

Just as people can be fluent in verbal speech, people can also be fluent in body language. By shrugging your shoulders, rolling your eyes, etc. when someone brings up another person, you convey to that person your contempt or disdain for the person of which they speak. 

This action is just as bad as lashon hara, "evil speech." The same goes for alluding to someone's tainted past or verbal innuendos of any kind. So watch what you say and watch what you do, and don't convey any messages you didn't mean to send.
