Schadenfreude is pleasure at someone else's misfortune. This week's question comes from a viewer who is unemployed and jealous of people who have jobs. Rabbi Simon Jacobson addresses the underlying issues -- schadenfreude. Learn how to cope if you are experiencing bitterness as a result of jealousy.
The answer to jealousy or envy is gratitude. Gratitude is the praising of G-d, which is our last tikkun. This jealousy/envy trial came upon the earth to push us to gratitude and the praise of Hashem.
