A short YouTube sermon by Elay Amitay Halevi (uploaded 2026-01-17) advising that when others judge or speak badly about you, view it as spiritually beneficial: pause, do not react, bless the critic, and trust that the Creator has sent this to remove negativity from your soul—this posture will allegedly elevate you and invite miracles.
As soon as someone starts judging you, speaking badly about you, hurting your reputation, and assassinating your character, know that this is good. The sages say that anytime someone speaks poorly about us, whether it's true or not, they are actually taking away negativity and judgment from our soul and taking it upon their soul. And this is true only if you celebrate it. You pause. You do not get upset with them, and you have certainty, knowing that they have been sent from the Creator to do so. Do not react the next time someone speaks badly about you. Do not react the next time someone writes something about you or challenges you. Just pause, have certainty, and bless them. You will soon see that you elevate to a realm of miracles, and others begin to take your chaos.
