Tehillim 39:3 Kabbala: Reshit Chokhmah

Regarding excessive speech with a woman, they were strict about it, as it says in Tractate Eruvin chapter 5: Rabbi Yossi Haglili was walking and saw Bruria. He asked her, “Which way shall one go to Lod?” She answered, “Glili, you fool, don’t you know it is written, “Do not engage a woman in too much conversation?” You should have said, “Where to Lod?” One who is has Awe of Heaven will learn from here to minimize speech with women as much as possible, and specifically with his wife on her period, as it is explained in the article. I also found it written in Psalms 39:3 “Ne’elamti Dumia Hecheshiti” (I was dumb with silence; I held my peace), which is the acronym of Niddah, to teach us to minimize speech especially with her.
