📖 Parshat Devarim This Week: When Moses recounts the story of the spies, he says God heard 'the sound of their words,' not just what they said, but how they said it. The spies' actual words weren't wrong; it was their tone that destroyed hope and changed history. This hits differently as we approach Tisha B'Av this Sunday, mourning the Temple's destruction caused by sinat chinam, baseless hatred. It's a reminder that our tone can build bridges or burn them down. The same question can sound curious or judgmental. The same feedback can feel supportive or crushing. Your children, spouse, and friends hear your tone louder than your words. What is the sound of your words saying about you? Shabbat Shalom. 🎵
