Did You Know That

You probably knew that it’s praiseworthy to speak pleasantly with other people. But did you that when a person speaks pleasantly to others he is fulfilling the words of the Torah from this week’s parsha?! The verse says וְׁעָשִיתָ הַיָשָר וְׁהַטּוֹב בְׁעֵינֵי ה' - And you should do what’s upright and good in the eyes of Hashem (Devorim 6:18). The Ramban comments on this verse and says that when a person speaks pleasantly with others, he is fulfilling the words of the Torah in that verse!
