The Power of Words: Mindful Jewish Speech in a Noisy World (Part 7)

Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores the Jewish ethical tradition of shemirat hadibbur—guarding one’s speech. In a time when language often feels weaponized or meaningless, Judaism reminds us of the holiness of words. From the Torah’s account of creation to the vows of Yom Kippur, words shape reality. In the latest episode in a series on Jewish ethics, Josh introduces five powerful questions rooted in Buddhist and Jewish wisdom to guide mindful speech.
