Six stratagies for success from CCHF

1. start each of 10 shabbos and yom tov meals by reading Chofetz Chaim tefilla for shimiras halashon (in sefer Chofetz chaim or call CCHF office at 1845-352-3505 for a copy)
2. learn portion of shimras halashon yomi at your table
3. designate your yom tov meal (even when you sit together in your liveing room) as a Machsom Lafi were the entire family will avoid loshon hora as a Zachus for a refuah sheleima or a shidduch for someone there have been amazing yeshuos reported for those in need of a shidduch or recovery from illness by people who have learned Shimiras halashon yomi or take on a Machsom Lafi as a merit
4. make an effort to say more divrei torah and sing more zemiros at your table this will not only help avoid loshon hora but make your yom yov more bueatiful and meaningful
5. prepare topics that you can introduce to quickly pre-empt any loshon hora that might get started you might be surprised to find out how easily you can change the topic and distract a person who is starting to speak loshon hora
6. read this ad to people at your table and get them excited about what they can accomplish as a group

something to say at the seder

1. in Dayanu it mentions shabbos in Rav Shach haggadah it brings a story with Rav Shach Rav Shach and another rabbi were in a cab the other rabbi asked the cab driver if he is shomer shabbos Rav Shach said of course he is shomer shabbos the next time this rabbi got in a cab it was with the same taxi driver and he said thanks to Rav Shach I started keeping shabbos
2. Rav Shilomo Shwadron says in the make of wild animals the ground came with them that means the animals destroyed the ground but that was only in Egypt but in Goshen there were no wild animals destroying the land why b/c Yehudah went down to Goshen and made a beis medrash
