How many aveiros can hide inside one throwaway comment on the street?
Rabbi Klapper counts the damage when one person tells another he was overcharged and the victim storms back to the store, sparking a fight over quality and refunds. In that single exchange a person can violate rechilus and lashon hara, lifnei iver of placing a stumbling block, and onaas devarim of hurting another's feelings — and it can ignite machlokes, sinah, and even worse. Our words carry enormous power: they can build connections between Jews or destroy them. Knowing the halachos beforehand is what lets us recognize that force before we wield it carelessly.
Use your words wisely — and come back tomorrow to keep learning.
