The Ills of Envy and its Remedy

From R Yaakov Wolbe: ShiurBank by R Yaakov Wolbe.

Envy is a deadly sin, and it’s almost entirely unavoidable. Our Sages that “Envy extracts a person from the world.” It causes a person to be severed from the world. But there is so much cause for envy wherever we turn. In every area of life, there is rank inequality. Other people have things that seem good and desirable. How is it possible to not covet the goodies of others? In this interesting podcast, we share three perspectives for how to solve envy once and for all. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – DONATE:  Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at  https://www.torchweb.org/support.php .
