How could Dovid HaMelech, a man of towering spirituality, learning, and devotion, fall so painfully? In this gripping class, Rabbi Shafier unpacks one of the most troubling episodes in Tanach, revealing how even the greatest among us are tested precisely at their weakest point. Through the story of Dovid and Batsheva, he explores the nature of the yetzer hara and the role of the Soton as a master strategist, tailor-making challenges to each person’s vulnerabilities. With clarity and depth, Rabbi Shafier shows that this isn’t a story of failure alone, but a timeless lesson in self-awareness, humility, and the absolute necessity of turning to Hashem for help. Honest, sobering, and deeply relevant, this class offers essential tools for recognizing temptation before it takes hold, and for rising stronger when we are tested.
