Green Speech #24
In the Torah, Moshe’s righteous sister Miriam was afflicted with tzara’as because she said something about Moshe that had just the slightest taint of loshon hora.
Her words were well intentioned and she spoke only to her brother Aaron, yet she was immediately punished with tzara’as and the Jewish people had to delay travel for seven days until she was cured.
If Miriam was afflicted after speaking Loshon Hara that was: slight, well intentioned and only to her brother to help the other brother what does that say to us about our words and speech? And she had a great track record up until then.
True Miriam was one of a kind of righteous women of her generation and she is judged according to Her greatness….by a hair breath
Still…… we must be more careful what we say and how we say it
