Emunah and Bitachon: Do You Understand the Difference? 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 the fact that we think 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.

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’. But there’s more: it’s relatively easy to stop talking lashon hara. You see, lashon hara is mostly due to a lack of awareness. And so by becoming more attentive to what the Torah demands of you, you can start amassing a serious amount of s’char for yourself.

Session One: The Descent into Slavery We know that contemplating the events of Yetzias Mitzrayim is central to our avodas Hashem. Recognizing that this house has a Master, and internalizing our knowledge that Hashem exists, is the very purpose of our life in this world. It is therefore our holy obligation to learn as much as we can about Pesach and gain a detailed understanding of the events that transpired. In the first session of Living Through the Makos, Rabbi Shafier explains how Klal Yisroel went from being a privileged nation in Egypt to tortured slaves. He discusses the rise of anti-Semitism amongst the Mitzri, and how their hatred of others ultimately led to their hatred of themselves. Packed with valuable life-lessons, this series is guaranteed to give you the ultimate in Pesach preparation and elevate your Sedarim like never before.

It's Time to Get Holy Is the path to spirituality sitting cross-legged on a windy mountaintop, miserably chewing on stale bread and gagging on sips of murky water? Nope. Not by us. Hashem has blessed us with a world full of delicious gashmius, and it’s there for your enjoyment. Mmm. But there’s one crucial caveat that can’t be ignored. You need to know how to use pleasure without turning it into a gigantic, yellow-fanged monster that will dominate your thoughts and actions every waking moment of your life. And if that sounds scary, that’s because it is. In this Shmuz, you will learn how to get the monster in your mind under control. You’ll discover how to use the pleasures of this world to draw closer to Hashem. And you’ll finally understand how to deal with your wealthy brother-in-law’s geshmake kiddushim, without losing sight of who you are. Sounds good? Listen now.

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.

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. 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? In this shockingly honest shmuz Rabbi Shafier discusses his own challenges with growth and gives us some insight as to how you can get focused on moving forward.

If you accept that Hashem is very good at being Hashem, a thinking person must marvel at the variety and intensity of pain that He has created- and then ask themselves why it must be this way.

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? Catch this week’s episode and prepare to be empowered to change your basest desires and become a better version of yourself.

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. 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.

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. Genuine, Torah-true hashkafa and timeless messages laid open for you this Purim. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.

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.

Shmuz 132 Being Human
Shmuz 132 Being Human
Mar 4, 2025
54:10
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. Tune in to this week’s podcast to learn how to let go of failings and gain the emotional freedom to achieve your tafkid. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.

You are a spiritual being navigating a temporary physical existence in this world. But oh, how easy it is to forget!

Parshas Ki Sisa: The Love of Money
Parshas Ki Sisa: The Love of Money
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.

In the first session of Living Through the Makos, Rabbi Shafier explains how Klal Yisroel went from being a privileged nation in Egypt to tortured slaves. He discusses the rise of anti-Semitism amongst the Mitzri, and how their hatred of others ultimately led to their hatred of themselves.

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.

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