Why do good people suffer? Why doesn’t every heartfelt prayer get answered the way we hope? And what do life’s hardest tests reveal about our relationship with Hashem?
In this powerful Torah class, Rabbi Chaim explores Pirkei Avos and the dangers of the evil eye, evil inclination, and hatred of others—forces that can pull a person away from holiness. Through the lives of Yaakov, the Imahos, and other Torah sources, we learn how challenges, setbacks, and even unanswered prayers can become the very tools that shape our character and bring us closer to Hashem.
Topics include:
- Spiritual danger
- Evil eye, evil inclination, and hatred
- Why righteous people face tests
- Trusting Hashem instead of people
- The deeper purpose of unanswered prayers
- How suffering transforms character
- Success, faith, and true spiritual growth
