== Causes == There are several things mentioned in Chazal's works that cause ayin hara, which one should avoid: * Counting Jews not through another medium (like the half-shekel), as well as counting other things (money, etc.) * Father and son being called up to the Torah consecutively * Eating without washing hands. About this the verse says "Do not eat the bread of one with an evil eye" * One should wrap a child in a tallis on the day he enters cheder, so that the evil eye of the Satan, who wants to disturb his Torah learning, should not affect him
