Fast of Gedaliah: Meaning and Lessons | Connections 9/21/09

by rabbifink on September 21, 2009 · 1 comment

It was not easy giving my Monday night class tonight. After fasting all day to remember the tragic death of the great Gedaliah I found myself tripping over my words. So I apologize if the class sounds a bit jumbled.

We talked about the history of Gedaliah and the significance of the fast day.

I concluded by quoting Rabbi Hoffman from VIN regarding using Lashon Hara as a shield from believing negative information that could be very harmful. I recommend reading the original here.
