Topics Of Conversation

By now many people have heard of the terrible tragedy that occurred in a certain yeshiva high school in New Jersey. A tragedy because the eternal contamination of souls is far worse than any physical catastrophe.

I am not going to comment on what happened. That is exactly my point. Unless there is some practical reason for doing so, talking about it only serves to further contaminate people. People should talk about good things. When you go into the mud [gematria "newspapers"] - you get muddy. This is mud. The filthiest, most contemptible type of mud.

So at the Shabbos table this week, if someone brings it up, try to change the subject. "Hey, did you hear the one about the Rabbi, nun and sheikh who were stuck in an elevator?!" "So how 'bout that Giant victory on sunday night?! Whatta game!!!!" "Isn't it annoying to have a wart on the tip of your nose!!" "When is the Mevakesh finally going back home to Israel? I am afraid he is going to try to hit me up for a donation for his kollel."


Or better "Did you see that Ohr HaChaim on mechiras Yosef?"

Good Shabbos Sweetest Friends!
