“You Don’t Have to Be Convenient for Everyone!” – this is the brave and profound topic explored in the latest episode of the Menorah YouTube channel. It’s an honest and deeply personal conversation about people who are often the most difficult to be close to—even if they’re family, colleagues, or community members.
Sara Kaminezki, together with her father, Chief Rabbi of Dnipro Shmuel Kaminezki, reflects on how to coexist with people who diminish, hurt, or manipulate—often without even realizing it. How do we protect ourselves without losing our identity?
In this episode:
– Types of “toxic” or emotionally challenging people
– Why family members can hurt us the most
– Is it okay to stop talking to your mother—and still be a good person?
– What to do if a partner, ex, or boss makes you feel afraid or ashamed
– Where is the line between respect and self-sacrifice?
– Most importantly: how to preserve your emotional boundaries when walking away isn’t an option
This video isn’t about conflict—it’s about healing, maturity, and the right to inner peace.
