Shemirat Halashon Part 57 - Lending Out

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Duvi Bensoussan’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Good morning, gentlemen. Our 57th segment of think before you speak series laws of clarity with a few stories. We would like to lose Elizabeth Harriet and her children that passed with her in the fire. We will have to be gone in the end. As well, it should be the whole of all of Israel. These should be specifically dedicated for the next holiday. Without a board and all of Israel. And these should be a great all of Israel for great all of all of Israel. Uh today the title of our thought is lending out. Now everybody knows that when we lend things out, the probability of them coming back is not always good. Simply put. Could you imagine a boy who goes away to Shiva? And he's in the dormitory. And he comes into the dorm and he has his ironing board, his iron. He has all different little gadgets that he brought along with him to have with him in the conveniences of home. And it turns out that being a good-hearted boy, your son, he lets everybody know, "Hey guys, anybody that wants to borrow my iron or my ironing board, you can do so. Just please be careful. Give it back. Put it back in the proper space where you got it from. And everyone's good." And sure enough from that point on the roommates in your son's room starts using his iron and his ironing board as they iron their starched shirts. Rule Word gets around the dorm that there's somebody who has an iron in Shiva. That's all they got a hair. Suddenly they come down that hallway.
