The Shmuz on the Parsha: Vayeitzei

Nov 24, 2025

48:37

We learn in this week’s parsha that Yaakov Avinu was saved from Lavan’s murderous intentions in the merit of his hard work. Not because of his unfathomable yiras shamayim, not because of his avodas Hashem, not because he was the son of Yitzchak and the grandson of Avraham. Hard work. Something we can all relate to. Something that occupies many, many hours of our time throughout our lives. Why does Hashem see work as such a zechus? Why weren’t we created with our needs easily met, allowing us to focus purely on mitzvos and limud haTorah?In the Merit of Work unravels how the everyday challenges of the workplace are no accident. Those late paychecks, irritating colleagues and daily grind are all designed to test us, strengthen us and move us forward in our ruchnius. This week, discover how your workplace can become the perfect place for spiritual prosperity and growth. Your nine to five will never be the same again.

The Shmuz on the Parsha: Vayishlach

Dec 2, 2025

49:41

Hashem is Here Yaakov walked with Hashem. He achieved an enviable closeness with Ha Kodesh Baruch Hu, understanding that He is present and involved in every aspect of creation. How can you integrate this truth into your own life? How can you speak to Hashem and really feel that He’s listening, that He’s real and right here with you? In this hands-on shmuz, Rabbi Shafier presents you with an irresistible idea on how you can reach incredible heights in your own avodas Hashem. He also gives you three actionable suggestions on how to improve the quality of your davening and provides plenty of chizuk to get you started.

The Shmuz Live 47- Bilam and the Unbridled Love of HASHEM

Jun 24, 2021

44:21

The episode of Bilaam and the donkey is often viewed as something comical. Bilaam’s donkey won’t move, Bilaam gets angry and the two of them have a conversation about it. A man arguing with his donkey isn’t exactly an everyday occurrence-why doesn’t he stop and acknowledge the outright miracle that he’s experiencing? And whilst this may be a humorous part of the parsha, if you fail to see beyond the pshat you’d be missing an incredible life lesson. You see, it often happens that we go through stuff, and don’t see the reason. In fact, we might even get upset, annoyed or even angry at Hashem when things don’t turn out the way we want them to. So what’s a better way to cope with the curve balls of life? In this straight-talking shmuz, I’ll be giving clear direction on how to maximize moments of frustration into opportunities for everlasting growth.

Megillas Esther Section Two: Mordechai Won’t Wait

Feb 20, 2023

1:19:42

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 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.

Megillas Esther Session Three: Esther’s Big Deal Request

Feb 27, 2023

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 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.

Parshas Vayakhel: Men are from Mars

Mar 14, 2023

48:24

In this week’s parsha, we come to the making of the kiyor, fashioned from the mirrors of the Jewish women. Moshe Rabbeinu was initially reluctant to accept this offering, wary that something that was used for female beautification would be inappropriate in the Mishkan. Hashem replies that these mirrors are actually the most beloved. Why did Moshe think Hashem wouldn’t want the mirrors? What does this week’s parsha teach us about the role of female beauty? Listen now to discover the role of attraction in marriage, some fundamental differences between men and women and how to achieve pure love with your spouse.

Vayeishiv - Living Like a Rock

Nov 21, 2021

4:28

In this week’s parsha, Rashi explains how the lives of tzadikim, beloved to Hashem, are described in detail in the Torah. This is in contrast to reshaim like Eisav whose lives are not dwelled upon. Rashi compares the reshaim to ‘rocks’, something that is discarded when searching for a gem in the sand. The implication is that a life of evil is as worthless as a rock. What is the value of a human life? Although the chemical composition of man is worth little more than $980, in the Torah’s eyes, a life is invaluable. But are we living our best life? How we can we ensure we’re not ‘living like a rock’, going through the motions of life but not adding anything of lasting value? Our potential in ruchnius is unlimited. We are neshamos with infinite potential. This shmuz gives us the focus we need to ensure our actions are purposeful and our lives are ones of meaning.
