Did You Hear About....

Esther was called a "tznua" [modest] by Chazal. Why?

Esther didn't tell where she was from.

Rochel was called a tznua. Why?

She didn't tell Yaakov that she had given the signs to Leah. [See megilla 13b]

To be modest means NOT TO TALK!

I love Jews. But Jews talk! In the religious community it seems that so many people know what is going on in other peoples lives.

Example: Young people seem to know who is going out with who, who broke up with who, why, etc. etc. You have no idea how much pain is caused to people because others talk about them.

What is the crazy yetzer hara to read newspapers? To find out what is going on in others people's lives.

Facebook? Same.

Onlysimchas? Ditto.

SWEETEST FRIENDS - LET US TAKE UPON OURSELVES TO TRY NOT TO TALK ABOUT OTHER PEOPLES BUSINESS.

May the zchus of Esther and Rochel guard us.

Love and blessings!!!:)
