New unit: The Power of our Words

Following up on last week's parsha study, we continue to explore the issue of lashon hara from multiple perspectives. Our holistic study of its laws, limitations and lessons will include:

• A review of three categories of lashon hara
• A look at the Torah's source for prohibiting lashon hara
• A short video clip of how lashon hara can lead to unintended yet harmful consequences

We watched the following clip, taken from Aish HaTorah's website, and discussed how these three categories factor into the episode.
