Speaking Disparagingly About a Righteous Person
Question
Shalom and blessings.
By mistake, a word slipped out of my mouth that was disparaging
toward a righteous and important person.
It truly pains me deeply.
I would be glad to know what I should do in order to rectify this, and in order to feel at peace with myself that I have done what I can to correct this matter.
