good morning gentlemen today is the 49th segment of think before you speak series with a few stories the laws of shemitah clarity so and these are specifically dedicated to the yeshua and the shmiram al-jamin now think about this for a minute one of the most beautiful moments that a child remembers growing up in their parents home are shabbat and it's those sit downs at the shabbat table that's the glue that keeps families together by the shabbat table on those beautiful friday night meals the conversations carry through the night like this that are sung those conversations sometimes can go south sometimes the eight sahara shows up and would love to take the opportunity of something so beautiful so kadosh and turn it in a direction that would be shalom just the opposite and because of that at the time that a father is monitoring and engaging with his children he has to monitor and engage their method of speech and the way they talk so you could have a child sitting at the table on a shabbat friday night and he turns to his parents and he says wow this week you know there was a kid in class and he says to you the name and he got thrown out this week three times would you believe it and then after he got thrown out the rebbe took him to the office because he was hutzpadek on top of what he did
