In a new video on the popular YouTube channel \u201cMenorah,\u201d Chief Rabbi of Dnipro Shmuel Kaminezki shares a deep Torah insight from this week\u2019s portion, Balak, on the nature of the evil eye, envy, and true spiritual protection.<\/p>

<\/p>

What is the evil eye? Why does it work \u2014 especially when directed at \u201csuccessful\u201d people? Why don\u2019t amulets and red strings help? How can we avoid being the cause of someone else’s blessing being ruined \u2014 and stop envy from damaging our own happiness? <\/p>

<\/p>

Rabbi Shmuel explains: the evil eye is not mysticism, but a spiritual dynamic triggered by pride, showy success, noise, and a lack of humility. True protection lies in inner balance, quietness, gratitude, and sincere trust in G-d. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
