The Shmuz

Don’t give up on your dreams. This simple hack will get you focused and ready to succeed

In Actors on the Stage of Life Rabbi Shafier delves into the ultimate tafkid of Sara Imeinu. Despite her incredible accomplishments, we can learn from the Chumash that her role was primarily to become the mother of Am Yisroel through Yitzchak Avinu. For our own lives, this delivers some powerful lessons-the futility of comparing ourselves with others, the fallacy of judging those around us and the freedom to accept the stage of life that Hashem has placed us in.
 

Does it seem that most of the world lacks purpose, direction and drive? Why is that? Listen now for Rabbi Shafier’s startling response.

Emunah in the Workplace:

The Merit of Work
Earning, spending and saving from a Torah perspective 

Akeidas Yitzchak. An event that continues to shape the Jewish People, giving us endless zechuyos and molding our collective character for all time. What sets the Akeidah apart from, l’havdil, some of the death cults of our enemies? What was the purpose of the test? Why was Avraham’s response so mind blowing? And why is it not considered Yitzchak’s trial as well?

The Anatomy of a Nisayon provides the answers to these questions, as well as a thought-provoking analysis of the reasons and purpose of the challenges we face in our own lives. In this Shmuz Rabbi Shafier explains his practical, three point survival guide, giving us much needed clarity, chizuk and understanding to withstand the darkest moments of our lives.
