The Gamorah says, "Why are your fingers
shaped like pegs? So if you hear Lashon
Hara, you can put them in your ears."
Why is the little fleshy part of your
ear flexible? So if you hear Lashon
Hara, you can put it in your ear. What
do I need either one of those two
methods for? Just walk away. Ideally, if
you hear Lashon Hara, you should walk
away, but you don't always have that
option. So if a people are speaking
straight Lashon Hara, put your fingers
in your ear because you're making a
macha. This is wrong and I don't want to
hear this. I have never seen anybody
respond well when someone says, "I think
that's Lashon Hara." Usually, they get
angry. Oh, when you do everything right
and you never do anything wrong and you
are such a tzaddik,
I don't know what it is.
People become very defensive.
