It's Time to Get Holy Is the path to spirituality sitting cross-legged on a windy mountaintop, miserably chewing on stale bread and gagging on sips of murky water? Nope. Not by us. Hashem has blessed us with a world full of delicious gashmius, and it's there for your enjoyment. Mmm. But there's one crucial caveat that can't be ignored. You need to know how to use pleasure without turning it into a gigantic, yellow-fanged monster that will dominate your thoughts and actions every waking moment of your life. And if that sounds scary, that's because it is. In this Shmuz, you will learn how to get the monster in your mind under control. You'll discover how to use the pleasures of this world to draw closer to Hashem. And you'll finally understand how to deal with your wealthy brother-in-law's geshmake kiddushim, without losing sight of who you are. Sounds good? Listen now.

Shiurim on shmiras haloshon aren't popular. Like exercise or keeping healthy, most think 'yep. I know this. Shouldn't do it. Not sure I need to listen to a whole shiur about it...' Unfortunately, the parameters of lashon hara are not what you think. Just like eating treif or being mechalel Shabbos, it is one hundred percent forbidden. And it's easy to see why- we all have stuff in our history that we wouldn't want ‘out there'. But there's more: it's relatively easy to stop talking lashon hara. You see, lashon hara is mostly due to a lack of awareness. And so by becoming more attentive to what the Torah demands of you, you can start amassing a serious amount of s'char for yourself. Ready to start building a beautiful olam haba? Watch now.

‘Hashem Loves Me' is a nice sentiment…how am I meant to actually believe it when things are tough? This clip is taken from *The Shmuz on the Parsha: Parshas Shemos*. You can watch the full version here: https://bit.ly/3yEmDQB

Most of our difficulties in emunah stem from this common error.This clip is from *The Shmuz on the Parsha: Parshas Shemos*. You can watch the full version here: https://bit.ly/3yEmDQB

Emunah and Bitachon: Do You Understand the Difference? Do you believe in Hashem, but sometimes feel that He's out to get you? Then you have emunah, but lack bitachon. You see, it's not enough to simply recognize that Hashem runs the world. As frum Jews, we are also meant to internalize that Hashem is directly involved in our own lives and knows what is best for us. Too many of our problems in bitachon stem from the fact that we think we know better than G-d. Too often we assume we know the bigger picture, and feel abandoned by our Creator. In this Shmuz, Rabbi Shafier shares some practical ideas on how to make Hashem real. Pick a method that speaks to you, and transform your life into one of genuine trust and menuchas hanefesh.

There's no protectezia in the world to come. No short cuts, no excuses. There is only one criteria for judgement: how much of YOU did you become? This clip is taken from *The Shmuz on the Parsha: Parshas Vayechi, A Ben Olam Haba*. You can watch the full version here: https://vimeo.com/382927076 Have an amazing Shabbos!

Imagine for one moment what life would be like if you had a clear vision of olam haba. Wouldn't you feel rich? This clip is taken from The Shmuz on the Parsha: Parshas Vayechi, A Ben Olam Haba. You can watch the full version here: https://vimeo.com/382927076

Imagine for one moment what life would be like if you had a clear vision of olam haba. Wouldn't you feel rich? Just picture it. Every mitzvah that you do, every kind word that you say, would appear in front of you, a precious diamond to keep forever. It would certainly change your perspective, wouldn't it? The topic of what it means to be a ‘ben olam haba' is discussed in this week's Shmuz on the Parsha. Listen now and transform your Shabbos.

In this week's parsha we learn of Yosef's impeccable honesty, going above his obligation as viceroy and personally overseeing each and every sale during the years of famine. Although his behavior went above and beyond, as Torah Jews we can certainly use Yosef's yashrus as an inspiration for our own business dealings. In this shmuz, Rabbi Shafier discusses some common pitfalls that can occur when in the workplace or handling money, and has a sobering message for those that think they could never be guilty of gezel.

Yaakov walked with Hashem. He achieved an enviable closeness with Ha Kodesh Baruch Hu, understanding that He is present and involved in every aspect of creation. How can we integrate this truth into our own lives? How can we speak to Hashem and really feel that He's listening, that He's real and right here with us? In this hands-on shmuz, Rabbi Shafier presents us with an irresistible idea on how we can reach incredible heights in our own avodas Hashem. He also gives us three actionable suggestions on how to improve the quality of our davening and provides plenty of chizuk to get us started.

We learn in this week's parsha that Yaakov Avinu was saved from Lavan's murderous intentions in the merit of his hard work. Not because of his unfathomable yiras shamayim, not because of his avodas Hashem, not because he was the son of Yitzchak and the grandson of Avraham. Hard work. Something we can all relate to. Something that occupies many, many hours of our time throughout our lives. Why does Hashem see work as such a zechus? Why weren't we created with our needs easily met, allowing us to focus purely on mitzvos and limud haTorah?In the Merit of Work unravels how the everyday challenges of the workplace are no accident. Those late paychecks, irritating colleagues and daily grind are all designed to test us, strengthen us and move us forward in our ruchnius. This week, discover how your workplace can become the perfect place for spiritual prosperity and growth. Your nine to five will never be the same again.

If you don't appreciate it, you may as well not have it. Isn't that a disturbing thought? Of course, appreciation is at the core of kibud av v'eim, a mitzvah that Eisav HaRasha excelled in. Think about it. By the age of fifteen, Eisav had already killed a man, lived with a married woman, denied the Torah and renounced mitzvos, techias hameisim and olam haba. Devoid of morality, it seems puzzling that he was so careful to honor his father Yitzchak. In this week's Shmuz on the Parsha, Rabbi Shafier takes a deeper look as to why kibud av was so instinctual to even a lowlife like Eisav. Ready to gain a golden ticket to happiness and meaning?

In this week's Shmuz on the Parsha, Rabbi Shafier delves into the ultimate tafkid of Sara Imeinu. In spite of her incredible accomplishments, we learn that Sara Imeinu's role was primarily to become the mother of Am Yisroel through Yitzchak Avinu. Let that sink in. It wasn't until she was ninety years old that she started fulfilling her purpose in this world. 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. Seize this opportunity to learn something about the Parsha this week- it contains powerful life lessons that we all need reminding of.
