In Parashas Behar, we are taught the profound impact of our words. The concept of ‘Onat Devarim’ (harmful speech) reminds us that our words hold immense power, capable of either uplifting or deeply wounding others. This lesson, emphasized by Rabbi Yosef Goldstein in the Yam HaTorah series, calls us to be mindful of the consequences of our speech and to strive for words that bring peace, kindness, and healing.
