Rabbi Yigal Cohen Explains Why the Wicked Sometimes Prosper in Daily Spiritual Boost
Rabbi Yigal Cohen, a leading halachic authority and head of the Yabia Omer institutions as well as a member of the Chief Rabbinate Council, offers a daily one-minute spiritual encouragement segment on Kikar HaShabbat. Drawing from the classic Jewish ethical work Chovot HaLevavot (Duties of the Heart), Rabbi Cohen addresses the question of how it is possible for wicked individuals to experience success or well-being. This brief, timely teaching aims to strengthen faith and provide perspective on spiritual challenges. The segment is part of a series of short daily inspirations, including reflections on loving God even in times of pain. The video was filmed by Shimon Bradi and published on August 5, 2026, on Kikar HaShabbat's platform.
