In the merit of this learning may Elisha ben Yehudis and Gavriel ben Yehudis each be blessed with complete health, happiness, safety, clarity, success, and only revealed good.

Anyone who makes an effort to speak fairly to and about others will find that their social interactions become smoother and they avoid going through life regretting cruel words they said and friendships needlessly ended.
II
For many, exchanging information and opinions about others is an easy, if divisive, way of bonding with others. People who minimize the amount of gossip in which they engage generally find that their connections to others become more intimate and satisfying.
Those who refrain from gossiping are forced to focus more on themselves and the person with whom they are speaking. The relationship established thereby almost invariably is emotionally deeper.
(Words that Hurt Words that Heal by Rabbi Joseph Telushkin)
Create a beautiful and holy Shabbat!
