SUMMARY:Do Not Gossip: Virtual Mitzvah Opportunity #13
DESCRIPTION:Due to COVID-19 and the Coronavirus pandemic all in person prog
 rams have been canceled or postponed until further notice. We have develop
 ed a wide array of resources available at http://bit.ly/2wU5CTS and are 
 now offering Daily Virtual Mitzvah Opportunities.\n\nEach day will feature
  a particular theme that offers ideas that can be done virtually as well a
 s suggestions that can be implemented in the future.\n\nAll of these progr
 ams are dedicated:\n\n 	In memory of those that have been lost to COVID-19
 .  We feel for each and every family and may they be comforted amongst th
 e mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.\n 	For a quick and complete recovery for
  those currently battling COVID-19.  We pray for you and your families.\n
  	In honor of the heroes and first reponders\, the medical staff\, deliver
 y workers and all those serving with distinction at this much challenging 
 time to keep us safe.  We thank you and acknowledge your courage\, braver
 y\, dedicate\, commitment and sacrifice and when this is over we will neve
 r forget your leadership and personal example.\n\nToday’s theme is: Do N
 ot Gossip \n\nYou shall not go around as a gossipmonger amidst your peopl
 e. You shall not stand by [the shedding of] your fellow's blood. I am the 
 Lord (Leviticus 19:16).\n\nToday:\n\n 	Study the laws of Lashon Hara or re
 ad a book dealing with the importance of ethical speech.\n 	Set aside an h
 our a day - if not more- to refrain from speaking Lashon Hara.\n 	Be a goo
 d example for everyone around you by only speaking kindly about others.\n 
 	Change the subject to avoid gossiping.\n 	Avoid spreading false rumors.\n
  	Do not say anything about others that you wouldn't them want to say abou
 t you.\n\nInto the future:\n\n 	Plan a program on the power of ethical spe
 ech for your school\, synagogue and community.\n 	Prepare an anti-bullying
  campaign at your local school.\n 	Stand up for others who are being sland
 ered.\n 	Be careful to be considerate of others on social media.\n 	Never 
 whisper in the presence of others.\n\nIf you have more ideas for this them
 e and/or ideas for future days please let us know by e-mailing your sugges
 tions to info@areyvut.org.
