-Ivanka Trump discusses the concept of Lashon Hora how she’s handled the barrage of attacks aon her family.

There’s a concept in Judaism called Lashon Hara, which means evil speech. The idea is that speaking poorly of another is almost the  equivalent to murder, because you can’t really repair it. You can apologize, but you can’t repair it. Another component of that is that it does as much damage to the person saying the words than it does to the person receiving them. And I think about that a lot. I talk about this concept with my kids a lot, and I’m not willing to pay the price of that fleeting and momentary satisfaction of sort of swinging baאck because I think it would be too expensive for my soul. And that’s how I made peace with it, because I think that feels more true for me.”
