Bava Kama 5 – Evil Speech and Positive Speech

Today’s Talmud page, Bava Kama 5, talks about speech that leads to action. Gila Sacks joins us to think about the war that we are facing right now. The war on the ground, and the war of words. Perhaps we can consider not just evil speech, but also that of positive speech. How do we protect ourselves from the harm that words can do? Listen and find out.
