This week we learn something important: not to get angry.

Once there was a man. He became very angry. So angry that he said ugly words about G-d. That was not good.

But he didn’t do anything with his hands—only with words. Why was that so bad?

Because words can also hurt. Words are powerful.

The wise say:
When you become very angry, you forget for a moment that G-d creates everything and guides everything.

Imagine:
You build a tower of blocks. Someone knocks it over. You get angry. You want to shout.
But… maybe it was an accident. Maybe you can build it again.

When you are angry, you can no longer see things clearly. Anger makes your eyes a little “blind.”

Everything we have comes from G-d.
Your voice. Your breath. Your thoughts.
If you use them to say something bad, that is not good.

Getting angry sometimes feels automatic. That is normal.
But you can pause for a moment.

Count to three.
Take a deep breath.
Think: “This is a test. I can stay calm.”

Remember:
There is only one G-d. He takes care of everything.
