This week in Shteelim we have started doing the work of figuring out what אוֹנָאַת דְבָרִים (Ona’at Devarim- hurting with words) is and how it happens. We started by listened to stories (some even from personal experience!) where hurting with words took place. We identified אוֹנָאַת דְבָרִים (Ona’at Devarim- hurting with words) in these stories and how the situation was repaired (if it was repaired), then we created our own stories.
Here are some stories that we created about hurting with words.
Sometimes we accidentally hurt with words.
Sometimes, even friends hurt each other with words.
We try to remember to fix it when we hurt someone with words…
We had so many creative ideas for stories about hurting with words! Next week we will explore a few new categories of אוֹנָאַת דְבָרִים (Ona’at Devarim- hurting with words).
