  • The Mussar Vaad: Suffering in This World
    Feb 3 2025

    If you accept that Hashem is very good at being Hashem, a thinking person must marvel at the variety and intensity of pain that He has created- and then ask themselves why it must be this way. The question of suffering is discussed at length in the Mesillas Yesharim. In this class Rabbi Shafier brings down the Ramchal’s teachings to show you how suffering cannot make sense without an awareness of Olam HaBa. It’s essential viewing for anyone who wishes to make sense of the darker side of life.

  • The Shmuz on the Parsha: Parshas Bo: The 5th and 6th Level of Emunah
    Jan 26 2025

    No less than nineteen mitzvos focus on Yetzias Mitzrayim. From Mezuzahs to Tefillin to Shema, we are commanded to remember the events in this week’s parsha. Why does it form the bedrock of our faith? As the Ramban explains, Hashem isn’t in the business of making everyday miracles. There was one moment in history where we clearly saw Hashem as real, present and maintaining every single aspect of existence.

    This is deeply relevant to you. By learning how Hashem is in control of the big picture you can also come to see His involvement in the small details of your own life as well. By discovering the fifth and sixth levels of emunah you are able to step away from your physical confines, see beyond the limits of nature and begin to view Creation in a dramatic new light.
