The evil eye is a subject that interests many people who turn to the world of Kabbalah. On Rabbi Emanuel Shahar’s website, it is discussed within the wider traditions of faith, envy, protection and prayer. A useful starting point is to distinguish a traditional belief from a factual conclusion about a particular event in someone’s life.
Begin with the question
When a person expresses concern about the evil eye, the first step is to listen to what troubles them. Are they seeking to understand the concept, asking for a blessing or looking for a place to speak about a difficult period? Clarifying the question makes it possible to have a respectful, focused conversation without deciding in advance what caused the difficulty.
A personal story or a sequence of setbacks does not, by itself, prove a supernatural influence. Spiritual discussion should leave room for questions and independent judgement. It should not lead to accusations against a relative or another person supposedly motivated by harmful envy.
Prayer, study and inner work
For those who choose a path of faith, prayer, learning and reflection on the values guiding their lives can provide a framework. Inner work can begin with a simple question: what can I do today to strengthen a kind and responsible attitude towards myself and those around me? This is an invitation to reflection, rather than a promise of a particular result.
Listen to the Rabbi
Rabbi Emanuel Shahar practises the removal of the evil eye and spells within his tradition. He does not offer to cast spells on other people. His TikTok account includes a video approaching the subject from this traditional perspective. It can serve as a starting point for further discussion and study.
Contact the office
To arrange a personal enquiry, contact the Kabbalist’s office on WhatsApp. In an initial message, it is enough to state the subject and ask how a meeting is arranged. Sensitive personal information that is unnecessary for scheduling need not be sent.
