Honesty

Hi,

"The prophet Tzefanyah said (Tzefaniah 3:13), ‘The remnant of Israel will not perform corrupt acts and will not speak falsehood, and misleading language will not be found in their mouths.’

"Therefore: If one has a son or daughter, one may not say, ‘They wanted to give me a great sum for my daughter to marry so-and-so,’ or, ‘They wanted to give me a great sum for my son to marry so-and-so,’ or, ‘They wanted to give me a great sum for my merchandise,’ when such had never occurred."

(Sefer Chasidim 338)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
