A wise person welcomes criticism because it provides a perspective they are blind to, helping them perfect themselves and avoid pitfalls. Criticism, when done with love and properly, is one of the greatest gifts one can receive — even if the delivery is imperfect, focus on the merit of the message. Rabbi Wolbe stresses the Torah obligation from Leviticus 19:17: do not hate your fellow in your heart, but rebuke them constructively so you do not bear sin on their account. Criticize the action, not the person (especially important with children). Be grateful to those who care enough to point out flaws, as it can save lives and elevate character. For the critic, the goal must be improvement, not shaming. Love of criticism is a hallmark of wisdom and a key tool for maximizing personal growth and spiritual success. _____________ Recorded in the TORCH Centre - Studio B to a live audience on June 10, 2022, in Houston, Texas.
