Shmuz on the Parsha Ki Tisa

Mar 8, 2020

48:48

Parshas Ki Tisah: The Love of MoneyIn today’s society, we are relentlessly bombarded with two fallacies: One, that money equals happiness and two, that our sense of self should be defined by our net worth. The Torah rejects both of these ideas, and yet we see from this week’s parsha that attraction to money is something inherent in the briah. In this uncomfortably relevant Shmuz, Rabbi Shafier encourages us to take a long hard look at how we judge ourselves and others- are our attitudes towards money in line with Torah hashkafa? Or are we constantly pursuing the next best thing, hoping that it will give us the elusive satisfaction for which we all crave? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Shmuz on the Parsha Tizaveh

Mar 1, 2020

50:37

Parshas Tetzaveh: Learning to ForgiveWe hear plenty on the importance of doing teshuvah, on loving our fellow man and learning how to be mevater. All incredibly important concepts that are essential for a Torah Jew to work on and internalize. But how often do we hear about the importance of forgiving ourselves? We are capable of becoming greater than melachim, the absolute pinnacle of creation on which the entire world rests. And yet, we have faults, and so many failings! How can we possibly achieve our purpose in this world?By recognizing that failing is a part of growth. Failing doesn’t mean we are failures. It means we are human beings. Hashem doesn’t demand perfection, He only wants us to grow, so that we can become the very best versions of ourselves. When we stop blaming ourselves for our nature, we can learn to forgive ourselves, forgive others and walk through life with a healthy sense of self. In this week’s podcast, learn how to let go of your failings and gain the emotional freedom to achieve your tafkid. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Parshas Terumah: Hashem’s Role/ Man’s Role- Finding the Balance

Feb 23, 2020

44:42

Parshas Terumah: Hashem’s Role/ Man’s Role- Finding the BalanceIn this week’s parsha, why does Hashem explain to Moshe how to make Menorah when it’s created miraculously? This question underpins one of the fundamental concepts in Torah hashkafa: the delicate balance between bitachon and hishtadlus. Whether it’s health, shidduchim or parnassah, how much effort are we expected to invest, and when should we say that we’re leaving it entirely to G-d? In this clarifying shiur, Rabbi Shafier exposes some crucial misconceptions and brings to light exactly what our attitude should be when it comes to working hard, paying those bills or pursuing our goals.

Shmuz 96 Purim Seize the Moment

Feb 23, 2020

48:37

Before Esther went into Achashverosh, Mordechai commanded the Jewish nation to fast for three days. Rashi tells us that those three days included the first day of Pesach. That means that Mordechai abolished themitzvosof eatingmatzah, drinking the four cups, and eatingmarrorthat year. Since there were more than eleven months until the decree was to take place, what was the sudden need for action? What was the urgency?This Shmuz demonstrates the laser focus that challenging deadlines can give us and what we can accomplish when properly motivated.

Purim: Story Behind the Story 3

Feb 23, 2020

1:00:05

Megillas Esther Session Three: Esther’s Big Deal RequestEsther stands at the threshold of the throne room, prepared to forfeit her life in this world and the next. Instead, she is assisted by three melachim, achieves ruach hakodesh and is the catalyst for Klal Yisroel’s eventual salvation. Aside from the obvious message that Hashem can always flip things around in an instant, there are many other life lessons to be learnt. Firstly, Esther’s people skills are exemplary. Want to ask for a raise? Just follow Esther’s three point plan on how to submit a request. Need chizuk in following daas Torah? Use Esther as an example. And if we want a clear warning on how not to behave we need look no further than Haman. His relentless drive for kavod shows us how if a person doesn’t control his middos, he’s destined to be utterly miserable in this world. It’s all here. Genuine, Torah-true hashkafa and timeless messages laid open for you this Purim. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Shmuz on the Parsha - Mishpatim

Feb 16, 2020

44:03

Parshas Mishpatim-Torah: Rocket Fuel for the SoulThe Jewish contribution to mankind is astounding. In every industry, in every profession, the Jewish people consistently play a significant role, far surpassing our tiny population. It’s clear that we are the am segula, the messengers for revealed good in the world. Nevertheless, our gan eden isn’t dependent on whether we are chess champions or nuclear physicists. The Torah teaches us that our olam haba will be built upon how much we choose to connect to the Ribbono shel Olam in this world.Our constant, unrelenting challenge of life is that our souls are distracted, pulled by our nefesh habahami to indulge in the here and now. The antidote? Limud HaTorah. Through limud haTorah, we are able to connect with the Eternal and discover the part of us that craves transcendence. In this week’s podcast, learn how to ignite your neshama through the joy of learning and gain a genuine Torah outlook on what ‘tikkun olam’ really means.

Purim: Story Behind the Story 2

Feb 16, 2020

1:19:42

Megillas Esther Session Two: Mordechai Won’t WaitMordechai’s timings were extraordinary. He demanded that Esther risk her life and approach Achashverosh, even though Achasverosh was imminently due to summon her. He refused to delay a national taanis, and instead called for Klal Yisroel to fast from the first day of Pesach, forgoing the zechus and mitzvas aseh of achilas matzah. What was Mordechai’s cheshbon? And what does his reasoning teach us for our own lives? In the second class on Megillas Esther, learn why Mordechai’s rebuke is so on point. Grasp the posukim like never before, gain a heightened awareness of the Megillah and prepare to go into Purim with an elevated sense of joy and gratitude.

267 We Only Fight With Friends

Feb 16, 2020

1:01:45

The dor haflaga had an explicit mission to rebel against Hashem and were in many ways worse than the generation of Noach. Why didn’t Hashem destroy them? Rashi tells us it was because they acted towards one another with love and friendship. In fact, it was only when the languages were mixed up that the fighting began. In this shmuz on interpersonal relationships, Rabbi Shafier studies the ingredients of a macklokes and shares some essential tips on how to get along better with those around us.

269 The 6 Constant Mitzvos

Feb 9, 2020

56:51

The Six Constant Mitzvos are the six keys that are vital to connecting with Hashem and understanding our role in this world. As the Mishnah Brurah explains, we are created to be ovdei Hashem, and our every thought and action should be a reflection of this awareness. You see if we really believed that Hashem is right here, observing everything we do, we would undoubtedly serve Hashem very differently. This Shmuz explains in clear language how to gain this level of mindfulness and encourages us to see the hand of Hashem throughout our day. It’s fundamental listening for anyone who wants to ensure they are living life for its ultimate purpose and is looking to develop their understanding of Torah-true hashkafa.

The Tefillah Project 3 The Power of Prayer

Feb 5, 2020

57:46

We see in the Torah that tefillah is powerful. Through tefillah,Sara Imeinu is given a child, a miracle comparable to techias hameisim. Yismael cries out to Hashem and is saved in the desert, despite his rishus. What gives davening it’s incredible potency? In the third class of the Tefillah Project, Rabbi Shafier describes how Hashem feels our pain like a father, and can change decrees simply because of His unending love for us. Can prayer have an effect when you’re just a regular person? Absolutely. Every tefillah has an impact.

Shmuz on the Parsha Beshalach

Feb 2, 2020

52:13

The Mitzrim endured the makos, witnessed krias yam suf and were prevented from attacking B’nei Yisroel by the impenetrable cloud of glory. These events form the basis of our emunah system, and yet they didn’t seem to have such a profound effect on the people living in Egypt. Until the bitter end they denied Hashem’s existence and control over every facet of physicality.Unfortunately, we can also be guilty of living like a Mitzri. The gift of bechirah means we are capable of denying the nissim in our own lives and often refuse to acknowledge the wonders of creation. Our imaginations tempt us to deny what our neshamas instinctively know to be true, and our egos loath to be wrong. In this electrifying shmuz, Rabbi Shafier urges us to look at the world without an agenda, consider the intricacies inherent in creation and acknowledge Hashem’s hand in every aspect of the universe.

Jan 31, 2020

49:34

If we really understood the holiness of a neshama, we’d be blown away. Yet our reality is that we don’t appreciate the incredible potential enclosed within each of us-we don’t even appreciate ourselves. It’s not supposed to be this way. We were meant to achieve great spiritual heights during our lifetime, so what holds us back?

The Tefillah Project 1 Prayer-A Changed Reality

Jan 20, 2020

49:13

If you do the math, we spend around two hours a day davening. In plain language, by the time someone’s reached twenty years old, that’s ten thousand hours they’ve invested in tefillah. What do we have to show for this dedication of our time? Are we davek with Hashem, baalei emunah? Unfortunately, most of us have difficulty connecting. Our senses deny Hashem, and we struggle to communicate with Something beyond our frame of reference or understanding. How do we bridge this gap? In this introductory class, learn the three indispensable tips to transcending the physical world and turn your davening into an incredibly transformative experience.

What does the creation of Adom HaRishon teach us about our own everyday interactions with others?Join me as I unravel some incredible explanations and give some hard points to ponder. Does gadlus haadom only extend to ourselves? How can we move forward in our bein adam l’chavero in light of Parshas Bereishis? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Emunah in the Workplace - Part 8

Sep 18, 2019

1:04:20

Earning a living was never easy. Yet, it seems that we work harder then ever today, and still, we barely seem to make ends meet. The strange part is that there was never as much wealth, abundance and opportunity as there is today. By all standards we earn more then any previous generation—yet we continue to struggle. And, while we enjoy a host of technological advances that free mankind from most physical labor—we still have to fight to provide for our families. It almost seems like there’s a plan to keep man working. But why? Why would HASHEM want us to work? What would HASHEM want us to spend so many hours doing things that aren’t really important, and don’t help us grow?This series deals with the many issues associated with working for a living.Why does HASHEM want us to work for a living?How do I know what is the right amount of effort that I should put in?When can I say to HASHEM, “I have done all that I can. Now it’s up to You.”Why is that no matter how much I earn, I always seem to be in debt?Is there an easier way to provide for my family?What things can help guarantee a good parnasah (living)?Why does HASHEM give wealth to certain people?Is there a way to know what I should be doing to earn a living?Is there a way of knowing how hard I should work?When it comes to earning a living: What is HASHEM’s role? What is mine?Is Kollel for Life permitted?Is there an operating principle that I can use to guide the efforts that I put in?If I enjoy a particular type of work, but it doesn’t pay enough, may I still do it, and rely on HASHEM to provide?

Emunah in the Workplace - Part 5

Earning a living was never easy. Yet, it seems that we work harder then ever today, and still, we barely seem to make ends meet. The strange part is that there was never as much wealth, abundance and opportunity as there is today. By all standards we earn more then any previous generation—yet we continue to struggle. And, while we enjoy a host of technological advances that free mankind from most physical labor—we still have to fight to provide for our families.

Why doesn’t serving Hashem come easy? If our souls want it, shouldn’t it be second nature? Over three-hundred years ago The Ramchal addressed this very question.

Finally, the imperative to understand how our life settings challenge our personal development is also explained in clear, real-life examples that brings the Mesilas Yesharim right into our everyday experience.

Never in the history of man have so many people enjoyed so much material wealth and possessions. The average tax paying citizen of today enjoys riches and comforts that kings of yesteryear couldnt envision or imagine -- and yet it seems that we dont appreciate what we have.

Mar 9, 2019

54:18

If a person looks at the features of this world they will quickly see that Hashem invested great wisdom and care in making man &apos;s stay on the planet enjoyable. From the different foods, each one with its unique flavor, aroma and textures; to the colors of flowers and magnificent sea scapes , so much of the beauty of this world was not necessary. It is clear that Hashem put much thought into creating a world that man can enjoy. The question is, Do we in fact enjoy it?

What was it like living in Yerushlayim at the time?Detailing the story of Chanukah as brought in Megillas Chashmonaim, this Shmuz brings us closer to understanding the events of the time, and appreciating the miracle that unfolded. It then takes us forward in time to some modern miracles that seem to overshadow even those of the Chanukah time period. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

#14 - Living like a Rock

Mar 9, 2019

52:59

What if I just live my life, as any other occupant of this planet? What is so bad about that? Lets say, I am no worse than Joe the UPS driver, or Bob the mechanic, will Hashem really be upset with me? In this Shmuz we are brought to understand how great the human is, and how much he can accomplish. Within the context of this understanding the question of What am I accomplishing with my life?, becomes much more acute -- if I truly have great potential and I am wasting it- if I am living like a rock, will I be held responsible to answer for this?

#13 - Free Will, Part 1: Nefesh Habahami, Nefesh Hasichli

Mar 9, 2019

50:03

Has there ever been a time when you reacted to something, and you couldnt believe that it was you who was speaking that way? Have you ever said something and had a feeling of, What came over me it was as if I were possessed?In this introduction to the inner workings of the human being, we come face to face with the understanding that I am created from very diverse elements. Within me are different forces pulling in opposite directions. Not only isnt this accidental, it is actually a necessary component of FREE WILL. Free Will means that I could go either way. It is my choice, not something that I was programmed to do that made me choose this way. Yet without this there would be no temptation, and Man would do good - only good, not because he chose to, but because he was programmed for it, hence there would be no Free Will. In this integral introduction to the complexity of the human we are given a glimpse into understanding the forces behind the different behaviors within ourselves.
