בְּרֹב דְּבָרִים לֹא יֶחְדַּל פָּשַׁע
Proverbs 10:19Sefaria
Commentary
Proverbs warns that many words multiply fault: shtika and shemirat ha-lashon train restraint so speech serves truth rather than spill.
The light
Before sharing a story about someone absent, ask whether it is necessary, accurate, and kind.
