POWERBALL PRATTLE

[30b top] R’ Pappa: People say, “If you hear that a friend died, believe it. But if you hear that your friend became rich, do not believe it.”

Prac-T-cal Tidbits: We always have to be careful about the words we hear and accept [especially about people claiming to have “won the powerball lottery!”]. We should be extremely cautious about what we listen to and try to verify facts if necessary/applicable. “Evil speech” should be avoided, and when a conversation is warranted we should make sure everything checks about before spreading false/improper/harmful information.
