Tweet Less, Think More: A Bird’s Eye View of Lashon Hara

The spiritual affliction of tzara'at (often mistranslated as leprosy) teaches profound lessons about the nature of harmful speech and the importance of addressing root causes in our spiritual growth. 

• Birds are included in the purification ritual for tzara'at because they represent mindless chirping
• The sin of lashon hara (gossip) stems from devaluing speech itself, not just speaking harmful words
• Human speech is precious and should be used thoughtfully, not carelessly like a bird's chirping
• Effective self-improvement requires addressing root causes, not just symptoms
• Mordecai Weiss teaches that we must understand the deeper reasons behind our spiritual challenges
• Fighting sin requires identifying and addressing its origins
• Working smarter rather than harder applies to our spiritual practice
