How You See Others Changes Your Own Life When someone else gets what you’ve been praying for, how do you respond? In this episode of Dialing Bnei Brak, Charlie Harary learns with Rabbi Moshe Levi about the power of ayin tov: seeing others with generosity, celebrating their success, and wishing them more good. Through Torah teachings and everyday examples, they explore how our thoughts reveal our middos, how comparison takes away our simcha, and how developing an ayin tov builds a vessel for bracha. In this episode: What ayin tov and ayin ra mean beyond the familiar phrase “the evil eye.” Why someone else’s success doesn’t diminish what Hashem has for you. What our private reactions reveal about our intentions when we give. How gratitude helps us appreciate what’s already in our lives. Practical ways to respond to jealousy, including blessing others with double and preparing yourself before a simcha. The work begins with noticing how we see others and practicing a more generous response, again and again. Explore more Torah learning and upcoming courses at kelil.org.
