Turn your Curses into Blessings
« on: October 06, 2011, 06:15:22 PM »
Several people here at JTF are very adept at cursing others.... I am wondering if they are just as good at blessing...

It is a challenge for those cursers to attempt to use their G-d given gift of speech and writing to bless another. I think it is a better judge of a character to see who a person blesses as opposed to who they curse.

Also, any Jews who have been using their mouth to curse should, before the judgment of Yom Kippur is sealed, attempt to bless another Jew.

Does this mean you're blessing Ann Coulter?

Wha?

I simply asked if anyone who regularly curses others could make an effort to bless... This has nothing to do with Ann Coulter..

Also I have never said anything good about her. I have disliked her ever since I heard of her...

Then it sounds like blessing her would be a worthy spiritual challenge.

I am not one who curses others excessively... As opposed to some others {you know who I am referring to}... My request was to hear someone who has an inclination to curse others turn around and actually bless someone. This does not require blessing someone who doesn't deserve the blessings... Blessing anyone who does good for Klal Yisroel would be nice (I don't include Chaim in this because we all bless Chaim daily)...

If you would like me to bless Ann Coulter I could do so... If you are willing to bless someone else in return...
