The Shmuz on Sefira

Apr 14, 2026

42:59

Why would 24,000 talmidim of Rabbi Akiva — great men of Torah — be lost over something that seems so simple: a lack of respect? This powerful shiur uncovers what kavod really means — and why it is far more than just good manners. Through Chazal, real-life examples, and sharp insight, Rabbi Shafier reveals that respect is not optional; it is a foundational principle that shapes our relationships, our growth, and our avodas Hashem. From the way we view others as created b’tzelem Elokim, to the role respect plays in marriage and daily interactions, this session challenges you to rethink how you treat the people around you.

At the Foot of Har Sinai: Part 2: Standing at the Foot of the Mountain

Apr 19, 2026

1:06:01

As we journey towards Shavuos, Rabbi Shafier weaves together the events of Matan Torah with major concepts in Jewish thought. Tune in and discover why Torah is the spiritual nourishment for the world, what it means to be an am segula and how Moshe Rabbeinu could argue with the Ribbono Shel Olam. At the Foot of Har Sinai combines explanations taken from Chazal, Midrashim, Rishonim and Acheronim to skillfully describe the personality of Moshe Rabbeinu and the events leading up to kabbolas haTorah. This year, develop a deeper connection with the event that defines the very essence of who you are. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.

At the Foot of Har Sinai: Part 1: A Monumental Moment for Mankind

Apr 12, 2026

1:00:32

We have a mitzvah to remember Har Sinai, but to do that, we first need to understand what happened on that momentous day. At the Foot of Har Sinai brings the scene to life, capturing the majesty, awe, and unfolding of the events in a vivid and compelling way. While it’s difficult to fully grasp the magnitude of the miracles the Bnei Yisroel experienced, exploring them through the lens of our mesorah allows you to begin appreciating the depth of their joy and the power of Kabbolas HaTorah. In this introductory class, Rabbi Shafier guides you through the defining moment of your history — and shows how Matan Torah continues to shape your life and destiny until today.

The Shmuz on the Parsha: Tazria Metzora

Apr 13, 2026

44:06

Shiurim on shmiras haloshon aren’t popular. Like exercise or keeping healthy, most think, “yep. I know this. Shouldn’t do it. Not sure I need to listen to a whole shiur about it…” Unfortunately, the parameters of lashon hara are not what you think. Just like eating treif or being mechalel Shabbos, it is one hundred percent forbidden. And it’s easy to see why- we all have stuff in our history that we wouldn’t want “out there”. It makes sense that talking about even true events could cause serious damage to another Jew. But there’s more: did you know it’s relatively easy to stop talking lashon hara. You see, lashon hara isn’t driven by passion, by desire. It’s mostly due to a lack of awareness. By becoming more attentive to what the Torah demands, you can start amassing a serious amount of s’char for yourself. All it takes is for you to become more mindful and aware of what you’re saying.

The Shmuz on Bitachon

Apr 22, 2026

41:29

Bitachon is something you’ve probably heard about many times. But what does it actually look like in your life? In this shiur, Rabbi Shafier walks you through what it means to truly trust in Hashem in a real, grounded way. You’ll start to see that bitachon isn’t just an idea. It’s a way of viewing everything that happens to you, recognizing that Hashem is involved in every detail, not just the big moments. You’ll be challenged to think about how you react when things don’t go as planned, and what that says about where your trust really lies. Through practical examples, you’ll begin to understand how to rely less on your own assumptions and more on Hashem’s plan. Listen in, and you’ll come away with a clearer, more honest approach to bitachon, along with a sense of how to start building it in your everyday life.

Derech Hashem: You’re Not Watching the Game. You’re Playing It

Feb 11, 2026

53:11

Most people think Hashem created the world and then stepped back. In this eye-opening class, Rabbi Shafier explains why that idea couldn’t be more wrong. He breaks down how Hashem is not only judging the world, but actively powering it every second, meaning every thought, choice, and action is happening inside His system. Using clear, relatable analogies, including a video-game model of how reality actually works, Rabbi Shafier shows why your effort and tefillah genuinely change outcomes, even in a world Hashem fully controls. This class brings clarity to how judgment really works and leaves you with a much stronger sense of responsibility, meaning, and connection in your daily life.

Pre-Pesach Shmuz (from the archive)

Mar 29, 2026

42:42

We like to think that if we witnessed one clear miracle, everything would fall into place; our emunah, our davening, our clarity. This shiur dismantles that assumption. Through a vivid, almost unsettling reconstruction of Mitzrayim from the Egyptian perspective, Rabbi Shafier exposes a deeper truth: belief is not driven by evidence, but by honesty. Even those who lived through open miracles found ways to explain it away. Why? Because they didn’t want to see. This is a shiur about intellectual integrity, self-deception, and the real barrier to emunah. Listen carefully, and you’ll gain a sharper lens on your own thinking and a far more demanding, but real, path to genuine belief. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.

What Happened to My Bitachon?

Jul 10, 2025

50:00

Bitachon can’t be learned from a book. You can learn the theory, get a grip on the fundamentals of your hashkafa and think you know that you trust in Hashem. But until you are really tested, you have no idea whether our bitachon is real or not. Being naturally optimistic or anxious isn’t an indication of where you’re holding in bitachon-that’s nothing more than a reflection of your personality. To acquire genuine bitachon is a growth process, an emotional reality that goes beyond an intellectual understanding. In this candid shmuz, Rabbi Shafier explains ‘what happened to my bitachon’ when you find yourself in a difficult situation and suddenly discover that you don’t have so much menuchas hanefesh afterall. How can you make what you learn a real part of your emotional reality? Listen to this shmuz and get the tools to see Hashem in your life and bring theory into reality.

Feb 23, 2026

1:16:57

Why does “just a little more” never feel like enough? Why do high achievers still feel restless and often collapse under their own success? In this hugely powerful shiur, Rabbi Shafier uncovers the hidden drive inside every human being: a hunger for greatness that can either elevate your life or subtly drive you crazy. He reveals why recognition is one of the deepest human needs, why a single compliment can be transformative, and why the most dangerous voice you’ll ever hear might be your own. If you’ve ever felt driven, dissatisfied, or ridiculously hard on yourself, this one will hit home. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.

The Fight: Controlling Emotions

Jan 27, 2026

55:03

Great people don’t rely on willpower alone, they plan for their weaknesses. In this class, Rabbi Shafier shows how Yaakov Avinu, despite his towering level, knew exactly where he was vulnerable and prepared for it. Running from Esav and heading into Lavan’s world, Yaakov didn’t trust himself to “just be strong,” he made strategies, boundaries, and a deal with Hashem. The takeaway is sharp and practical: we absorb the behavior of the people around us, so if you don’t manage your triggers, they will manage you. This class is a masterclass in emotional control, planning ahead, and building the support you need to stay true to who you want to be.

Derech Hashem: The Righting Reflex

Dec 21, 2025

56:19

Why do our best attempts to correct others so often make things worse? In this powerful class, Rabbi Shafier explores the “righting reflex”, the instinct to fix what we see as wrong, and reveals how it’s rooted in a deep inner conflict that began with Adam’s sin and continues to shape our struggles today. Through the lens of the Derech Hashem, Rabbi Shafier offers practical, sometimes uncomfortable exercises that retrain the mind and heart to think and feel correctly, shifting the focus from fixing others to refining ourselves. Insightful, honest, and deeply practical, this class invites you to rethink personal growth and makes a compelling case for why real change starts within.

Dec 30, 2025

53:51

Why does life feel like a constant tug-of-war between what the body wants and what the soul knows is right? In this foundational class on Derech Hashem, Rabbi Shafier explains that Hashem created man from two opposing forces, the guf and the neshamah, and that this inner conflict is not a bug, it's the very purpose of life. With awesome clarity, he explores why beauty and misery can exist side by side, and why this world was not designed for comfort, but for growth and spiritual accomplishment.
