The minor flaw that ruins relationships: How to protect your most treasured connections Have you ever heard the three rules of criticism? Don’t do it Don’t do it Don’t do it Ok, everyone knows how it feels to be criticized. Everyone agrees that it’s damaging to our most precious relationships. Some people have lived under the shadow of criticism their whole life, and have the arduous task of trying to rebuild their self-esteem and confidence. So if it’s so incredibly obvious as to why we shouldn’t do it- why do we? In this week’s Shmuz Live, I’ll be deconstructing the science behind the scorn, and give some real-life, practical advice on how to overcome this destructive habit.

*Back to Work, Back to Humility: Finding True Connection with H-shem * Hey Shmuz Chizuk Group Community! As we head back to work from our summer vacations and step into the month of Elul, it’s the perfect time to reconnect and refocus on what truly matters. In this video, we're diving into the essence of humility. The moment we feel like a 'boss,' we risk breaking our connection with H-shem. True mastery lies in recognizing H-shem as our guide and striving to be an 'Eved H-shem.' Let's work together on embracing humility as a way to deepen our relationship with H-shem and start Elul on the right foot. 🌟 If you want more content like this, visit our website at https://theshmuz.com to stay inspired and continue your growth journey!

Before Moshe and Aron approach Paroh, Hashem cautions the brothers to treat Paroh with honor. Paroh, who took a daily bath in the blood of Jewish babies, who enslaved and tormented us throughout the shibud. It begs the question: why the need for respect? In this Shmuz, Rabbi Shafier makes a clear distinction between the rasha that was Paroh and the institution of malchus. We are instructed to respect the government under which we live, even if it is contrary to our own political leanings. Bringing fascinating examples from modern-day America, Rabbi Shafier demonstrates just how much hakaras hatov we owe the United States, and cautions us to ensure that own our behavior falls in line with Torah values.

No less than nineteen mitzvos focus on Yetzias Mitzrayim. From Mezuzahs to Tefillin to Shema, we are commanded to remember the events in this week’s parsha. Why does it form the bedrock of our faith? As the Ramban explains, Hashem isn’t in the business of making everyday miracles. There was one moment in history where we clearly saw Hashem as real, present and maintaining every single aspect of existence. This is deeply relevant to you. By learning how Hashem is in control of the big picture you can also come to see His involvement in the small details of your own life as well. By discovering the fifth and sixth levels of emunah you are able to step away from your physical confines, see beyond the limits of nature and begin to view Creation in a dramatic new light.

If we really understood the holiness of a neshama, we’d be blown away.

Live your truth. Love is love. You do you. You’re worth it. Just do it. These are some of the phrases common in today’s culture. The problem is, they are completely at odds with Torah hashkafa. Lo sachmod beis rayecha. Lo sachmod aishes rayecha. Do not desire your friend’s house. Your friend’s wife. In fact, don’t desire anything that belongs to him. So says the aseres hadibros in this week’s parsha. But why not? Society cries. ‘How can I deny my feelings? Why should I oppress my love for this person? Why can’t I have the house I want, the car I want? Afterall, I can split the payments, put it on the credit card…’ This week's podcast invites you to embrace a complete paradigm shift. The Torah tells you that you can and must control your thinking, your emotions and your actions. You are held accountable to a high standard. How can you train your brain to become more elevated, more holy and simply nicer person?

The 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, your gan eden isn’t dependent on whether you’re a chess champions or nuclear physicist. The Torah teaches that your olam haba will be built upon how much you choose to connect to the Ribbono shel Olam in this world. Your constant, unrelenting challenge of life is that your soul is distracted, pulled by your nefesh habahami to indulge in the here and now. The antidote? Limud HaTorah. Through limud haTorah, you are able to connect with the Eternal and discover the part of you 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.

Mordechai’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 your own life? In the second class on Megillas Esther, learn why Mordechai’s rebuke is so on point.

In this week’s parsha, Hashem explains to Moshe how to make Menorah. But the menorah is made miraculously- so why the explanation? 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 you expected to invest, and when should you say that you’re leaving it entirely to G-d? In this clarifying shiur, Rabbi Shafier exposes some crucial misconceptions and brings to light exactly what your attitude should be when it comes to working hard, paying those bills or pursuing your goals.

Purim- The Story Behind the Story: Part 3: Esther’s Big Deal Request
Feb 27, 2025
1:00:06
Esther 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 learned. 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.

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 the mitzvos of eating matzah, drinking the four cups, and eating marror that 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 just how much you can accomplish when properly motivated and offers some practical recommendations on how to bring the middah of zerizus into your life.

One of the most difficult character traits to work on is humility. Not only is it considered the most praise-worthy of all of the middos, it is the most misunderstood. On one hand, we are obligated to appreciate the greatness of the human, yet on the other, we must remain humble. One way we can reach a greater understanding of anava is to learn what is not. By analysing the incredible arrogance of Haman, we begin to unravel why our mesorah places such a strong emphasis on character development. This Shmuz is fundamental listening for anyone looking to become a greater person, as well as a wonderful preparation for Purim itself.

We often hear about the importance of teshuvah, loving others, and being mevater—essential values for a Torah Jew. But how often do we hear about forgiving ourselves? We are capable of surpassing even melachim, yet we have faults and failings—how can we still fulfill our purpose? By recognizing that failure is part of growth; it doesn’t define us, it makes us human. Hashem doesn’t expect perfection, only effort. When we stop blaming ourselves for our nature, we can forgive ourselves and others, walking through life with a healthy sense of self.

Mar 12, 2025
48:48
In today’s society, you are relentlessly bombarded with two fallacies: One, that money equals happiness, and two, that your sense of self should be defined by your net worth. The Torah rejects both of these ideas, yet this week’s parsha shows that the attraction to money is inherent in the briah. In this uncomfortably relevant Shmuz, Rabbi Shafier challenges you to take a long, hard look at how you judge yourself and others—are your attitudes toward money aligned with Torah hashkafa? Or are you constantly chasing the next best thing, hoping it will finally bring you the elusive satisfaction you crave? This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.

Living Through the Makos continues with a detailed explanation on how Moshe ended up in Midian, his meeting with Tzipporah and his first encounter with the Ribbono Shel Olam at the Sneh. Rabbi Shafier gives a clear and articulate delivery of the events that subsequently unfold, shedding light on how Shevet Levi managed to be excluded from the shibud. He also gives some poignant moments to contemplate, such as Moshe’s reticence to communicate with Hashem, Paroh’s absolute belief that he really was a god, and Dosan and Aviram’s persistent malice. Living Through the Makos dramatically brings to life the ancient story of our people. This Nissan, mekabal the mitzvah of sippur Yetzias Mitzrayim with a refreshed perspective and step into your seder with a reaffirmed sense of wonder and hakaras hatov.

At the Foot of Har Sinai will take you through the majesty and awe, giving a fascinating account of the events that transpired.

In this introductory class, join Rabbi Shafier as he guides you through the defining moment of our history, and learn how the experience of Matan Torah continues to shape your own destiny until today.

Respect is the basis of every meaningful relationship, and yet we find that even the choshuve talmidim of Rabbi Akiva fell short on this middah. In this week’s Shmuz on the Parsha, Rabbi Shafier takes an in-depth look at the Torah approach to respect, analyzing where the talmidim tripped up and how we can avoid the same shortcomings in our interactions with others. Taking a frank look at our marriages, our friendships and our everyday exchanges, this Shmuz will encourage you to reconsider how you perceive others-and yourself.

Let them become holy. The command that has echoed throughout our history and enjoins us to be separate and unique, a beloved holy nation that will forever stand apart. But how special can I be, when I’m just one out of seven billion people on this planet?In the third class of the series, Rabbi Shafier empowers us to recognize our inherent closeness to the Ribbono Shel Olam. When we fully internalize that whatever we experience, Hashem experiences as well, we gain a glimpse into His love for us and His belief in us. Those that stood at Har Sinai saw with complete clarity their unlimited ability to achieve, to grow, to accomplish. We have the same power within us. By tapping into the messages of Shavuos, we too can learn how to unleash our potential and can continue the year with a renewed sense of energy and purpose.

Throughout history all things change: except for anti-Semitism. Is there a Torah perspective that can explain why the Jewish nation is so tortured and oppressed? If we accept that Hashem is in control of everything, is there a reason why His nation, the Chosen People, are so downtrodden? Are there forces involved that control the very destiny of Klal Yisrael?

Comparison and judgment are part of the human experience. Subconsciously or not, we are constantly asking ourselves, am I and my family acceptable in society? Where do I rank, compared with my peers? For some of us, our very sense of self is intrinsically linked to how we think others see us and where we think we’re holding in the competition of life. The problem is, we hardly ever pause to consider what our ranking will be in the World to Come. And the scary part is that many of us will, after ad meah v’esrim, be embarrassed by our shortcomings. You see, we are in competition. But the competition of life is between me and myself.

From the moment the Jewish People arrived at Har Sinai, it became a frightening and awe inspiring experience. Why did Hashem want to evoke fear into us? If this was to be the wedding between Klal Yisroel and the Ribbono Shel Olam, shouldn’t it have been music instead of thunder and lightning? Rabbi Shafier explains that the purpose of the fear was to drive home the message of responsibility. By accepting the Torah, we not only had the power to change the world, the very existence of the world became dependent on us. Because of matan Torah, Klal Yisroel is now responsible for energizing both the physical and spiritual worlds. What an awesome achariyus!

Embracing Pain and Suffering
Embracing Pain and Suffering
May 29, 2025

The Chovos HaLevovos (Shaar HaBitachon) explains that one of the basics of our belief system is, “You can’t harm me; you can’t help me.” Everything is decreed by HASHEM. Every ounce of suffering, every event that is to befall a person is all decided, defined and directed by HASHEM Himself. No human being can inflict damage to me that wasn’t already decided by HASHEM. With this cognition comes a deep understanding: the doctor isn’t the determinant of whether I live or die, the threat isn’t the failing economy, and the danger isn’t man. All humans are powerless to affect my destiny. And all along, I am always safe and sound, guarded and protected. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.

How fragile is your ego? We are all familiar with people that have a hard time admitting they could be wrong. No matter the misdemeanor, never mind the evidence in front of them, they refuse to acknowledge the facts and stick to their story as if their very lives depend on it. Unfortunately, this quirk is not just limited to hardened criminals and pathological narcissists. Within all of us is the overwhelming desire to protect our ego and soothe our sense of self. It’s very unpleasant to admit we could be wrong. Unpleasant and humbling. Ultimately, our very purpose on this planet is to work on our middos and become the very best version of ourselves. And that version includes being truthful. It includes courageously learning humility. And it includes developing the psychological fortitude to be ok with being wrong.

Do you believe in Hashem, but sometimes feel that He’s out to get you? Then you have emunah, but lack bitachon. You see, it’s not enough to simply recognize that Hashem runs the world. As frum Jews, we are also meant to internalize that Hashem is directly involved in our own lives and knows what is best for us. Too many of our problems in bitachon stem from thinking we know better than G-d. Too often we assume we know the bigger picture and feel abandoned by our Creator. In this Shmuz, Rabbi Shafier shares some practical ideas on how to make Hashem real. Pick a method that speaks to you, and transform your life into one of genuine trust and menuchas hanefesh.

We see in the Torah that tefillah is powerful. Through tefillah, Sara Imeinu was given a child, a miracle like techiyas hameisim. Yishmael cried out to Hashem and was saved in the desert, despite his sins. But what gives your davening its incredible power? In this week’s Shmuz, Rabbi Shafier clearly outlines three fundamental ways your tefillah can change everything. Can your prayers make a difference even if you’re an ordinary person? Absolutely—every tefillah has an impact. But what about when someone can’t daven, like a person in a coma, chalila? How do your prayers help them? This class will show you how effective you can be in helping others, and inspire you to daven with more kavannah and understanding. Listen to this Shmuz for encouragement and direction on how to pour out your heart, change your life, and tap into one of the greatest forces in existence.
