Episode Synopsis

In this class Rabbi Eliyahu Farhi discusses "Me’Shachen Ra", the tefillah asking Hashem to save us from a bad neighbor. A neighbor isn’t just someone who lives next door — they become part of your daily environment, your values, your lifestyle, and even your inner world. From Brooklyn driveway wars to spiritual influence, from social pressure to lifestyle creep — this episode uncovers how profoundly neighbors shape us, and why we pray daily for protection.
