STOP THE CONVERSATION

If a conversation seems to be leading to Loshon Hora, change the topic! Suppose someone would yell "Treif!" when you were in the middle of a meal. Naturally, you would stop eating right away! In the same way, change the subject - or stop the conversation - if it starts leading to Loshon Hora.
The Loshon Hora series was developed by Pirchei Shoshanim.
