Dr Yossi Shafer
Emunah and the human potential
In this week's episode we had the honor, to host the fascinating and remarkable Dr. Yossi Shafer, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist with a multi-specialty practice in Lakewood, NJ. Today, we discuss Dr. Schafer’s past as a talmid of Reb Asher Arieli and other great rabbanim, and how this strong foundation set the backdrop for his future career in a lesser-approached field in mental health. (A hint? Connection.) We dive into the heart of his work, where Dr. Schafer tells us about the ties between Torah and psychology, how we have the potential to heal within ourselves, and how the idea of we are children of G-d, and “Bnei Malachim,” is a mindset that finds its place in Torah, emunah and human behavior. Lastly, he reveals the number one marker of success that a patient will do well. There’s so much to gain, here.
Emunah is the core of our identity as a nation with 3,000+ years of putting our complete faith in One Above, but nowhere are its inherent challenges and apparent impediments more pertinent than in the realm of parnassah. The role of hishtadlus; coping with failure; the lucky and unlucky breaks; powering through those difficult periods––if you live with emunah, you will truly see emunah at work at your workplace.
In this conversation series, Laibel Schwartz and TYH Nation sits down with business leaders and prominent members of the community to hear how they apply emunah at work and the impact emunah has on their business and personal lives.
Join us on this journey of emunah and success.
