Gossiping during the Ancient Mediterranean was a form of social control, which enforced social norms such as ethical sexual behaviors. Gossip is usually established from witnessing an action that is considered a deviation from the standard behaviors within a given society. Set restraints and values produce a power dynamic and allow individuals to claim their subjecthood; this socially constructed definition of subjecthood allows people to categorize themselves within the social and political hierarchy

Rav Yehudah Aryeh Leib Alter, also known as the Sfas Emes, was the second Gerre Rebbe. He was the son of Rav Avraham Mordechai and the grandson of the famed Chidushei Harim, Rav Yitzchak Meir. The Sfas Emes came from a family rich with Kedusha. His father, Rav Avraham Mordechai was known for his silence and would sometimes not speak for days, with the exception of Torah and Tefillah.
