Kuntres Zachor LeMiryam

The Chafetz Chayim's all-encompassing treatment of Lashon Hara also includes a work entitled Kuntres Zachor LeMiryam: a collection of brief, stimulating essays, designed to inspire readers toward greater awareness and introspection regarding the importance of the words we use. Filled with poignant parables and discussions steeped in Talmud and Midrashim, these essays include: unique insights into why "remember what happened to Miryam" is one of the 6 constant mitzvos; the importance of learning Torah, of mitzvah observance, and appreciating a fellow Jew; how to strengthen one's emunah, and much more. The result is a motivational text that not only provides a foundation, but prepares readers for the Chafetz Chayim's other titles on the topic of Shemiras HaLashon. Hebrew with facing English translation entitled Mazal Elul.
