Title
Summary Reb Shimon Shlit"a embarked upon this Shiur with various 'vertlech' in relation to the immense power of speech; the dangers of its misuse and the great reward of one who is careful. A beautiful story followed involving the Bobover Rebbe in the 1950s, demonstrating the power one can have on another Yid if one treats him/her with care, rather than, for example, simply screaming at them angrily! In this episode, he incredibly caused a Yid to return to Yiddishkeit by virtue of his character. He then quoted from the famous Mekubal, Reb Gamliel Rabinovitch Shlit"a in relation to how we must have Achdus in Klal Yisroel, especially at this time of year and not chas vesholom divisions/factions. Further ideas followed from the Chafetz Chaim and the Shelah Hakdoish, in relation to Bein Odom Lachaveiro and also "knowing our place"...!
