Rabbi Shafier and Rabbi Weissberg join Coach Menachem on the Let's Get Real Podcast. Listen to this frank discussion on overcoming disconnection, distance and communication breakdowns.

The second perek of the Mesillas Yesharim opens with an introduction to zehirus. Loosely translated as ‘mindfulness’, the Ramchal urges you to start paying attention to your everyday thoughts, actions and emotions. Without this, you are guaranteed to stumble through life without giving even a second thought as to who you are and who you want to be. If you want to maximize your potential in this world and gain an awareness of who you are, the second perek of the Mussar Vaad is essential listening.  

This Shmuz will blow your mind. From Tiger Woods to the Halo Effect, Rabbi Shafier explains what motivates us to buy, why pretty people get better judgements and how sometimes- you can’t even trust yourself. A must for anyone living in today’s world.  

Unlike other middos that are difficult to break, lashon hara isn’t driven by passion or desire. All you need to do is become more attentive of what the Torah demands,

and you can start amassing a serious amount of zechar for yourself. Listen now to make this mitzvah easy!
 

What happens when society is no longer held down by what’s right-and what’s wrong? When self-expression has no boundaries, does it even matter? In this straight-talking Shmuz, Rabbi Shafier addresses our current political climate from a balanced, Torah perspective, offering us clarity and understanding in a confusing world. 

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.
