Question

Hello, honorable Rabbi, my question is as follows. I was born on 5.6.1998. My mother's name is Maya, daughter of Mazal. Full name: Mazal Ephraim. I wanted to ask if there is an evil eye or blockages on me? I feel very stuck and unmotivated lately. I should mention that I need to study in two months. What should I do?

Answer

Hello 

The Gemara states: 'There is no fortune for Israel'. 

Rashi explains there - through prayer and merit, one's fortune changes for the better. 

This means that it is clear there is such a thing as good fortune, bad fortune, blocked fortune. 

But a Jew should not be concerned with this; our task as Jews is to gather prayers and merits, and turn fortune into goodness and blessing. 

Set aside time each day for prayer to God from the depth of your heart, and you will see salvation with God's help.
