Good morning, gentlemen. We're on our 63rd segment of Think Before You Speak, The Laws of Lashon Hara, with clarity, with a few stories l'ilui nishmat the Chafetz Chaim tzaddik l'bracha, l'ilui nishmat Louise Elizabeth Henriette and her children that passed with her in the fire, ruach Hashem t'nei'chena b'Gan Eden, as well should be a z'chut for the cholim of Klal Yisrael, and a special z'chut for our b'nei chavura that learn every morning for shefa, bracha, v'hatzlacha for shefa, bracha, v'hatzlacha ad b'li dai. These halachot are dedicated for the shmira ma'alya and hatzlacha g'dola of Chaim Dovid ben Chaya Sarah. Today, the halachot's title is being pressured. Being pressured. Now, I want to bring up to you a scenario while talking about the laws of rechilut. Let's remember, rechilut means that you tell something to someone about what someone else said about them. Or you tell something to someone about Or you tell something to someone about what someone else did to them in a way that it'll cause the person you're talking to hatred and animosity of someone else. Either because they said something about them as you're repeating it, or they did something against them and you're bringing it to light. You're causing hatred between two Jews. That's rechilut. So, let me bring you out a scenario, something that I think is very common. Did it ever happen to you where you walked into shul one day
