==== Caution Regarding the Evil Eye ==== Generally, the Rebbe dismisses fear of the evil eye.<blockquote>In response to someone who wrote to the Rebbe about his friend who fears the evil eye, the Rebbe answered: "In such matters, when one pays no attention to it at all and completely diverts their mind from it, they nullify them."</blockquote>The Rebbe added that since he mentioned the evil eye, he should check his tefillin and mezuzot, and his wife should give charity and light Shabbat candles. On the other hand, many times the Rebbe was careful to say "without an evil eye." He also instructed Rabbi Zalman Gurary, when he wanted to make a celebration for the completion of his sixth Torah scroll, to do it privately due to concerns about the evil eye. However, he emphasized that one should not learn from this for other matters.
