The Shmuz

Every.single.mitzvah that you do changes the upper worlds and changes you. Do you believe that? Do you believe your actions are *important and significant* in this world? It’s time to start recognizing how amazing you are! 

As an honored member of Klal Yisroel you don’t need to spend time groping in the darkness trying to figure out who you are. Baruch Hashem, we have an array of mind-blowing sefarim that give us the answers to life's most challenging questions. 

And that’s what this new weekly shiur is focused on. It’s a compilation of the Derech Hashem and the Mesilas Yesharim, along with other seforim that will get you in a good head space for Yomim Noraim and may also just change your life.

Just imagine with me for a moment. A life driven by meaning and purpose. The abolition of doubt and second guessing yourself. Ever wondered why talmidei chachamim are happy all the time? It’s because they know life’s answers. Now you can too.

Are you ready to feel Hashem’s presence? Are you ready to experience Hashem in a way that is totally unthinkable any other time of the year? It’s not just for tzadikim- that’s the yetzer hara talking.

Listen now if you want to get excited for Rosh Hashanah!
 

Using the event of how Eliezer Bar Dudia gained the title of “Rebbe,” we are introduced to one of the greatest acts of tshuvah ever achieved. We witness his rise from the depths of depravity to the heights of spirituality in the course of a few hours. Through the story of his life, we see what a man accomplished in but a day – and we are brought to a new appreciation of the great potential of human beings.
