It's hard to do but very important
I heard of the Chofetz Chaim a few years ago. He was a rabbi who emphasized the importance of guarding the tongue. It is a very hard thing to do, especially if you have friends with whom you have enjoyed sharing gossip for a long time. Talk to your friends and make a pact to stop lashon hara. The relationship will improve!

THANK YOU
I am going to live by this from this day on. I have never heard of this verse. I recently started studying the Bible, I am only in Exodus. I live in WV, and there are no Jewish Rabbis where I live, So I really appreciate Aish and your teaching today Rabbi Shafier.
