  • Re'eh: If Hashem wants me to be happy, why am I so broke?!

    Re'eh: If Hashem wants me to be happy, why am I so broke?!
    Aug 19 2025

    I say every morning ‘sheasah li kol tzarci’- Hashem, You have provided me with all of my needs. Three times a day I remind myself that You open Your hand and satisfy every living thing with its desire. I know You want me to be happy, to enjoy Your world, to keep mitzvos and do Your will...so if that’s the case, WHY AM I SO BROKE?

    In this week’s Shmuz on the Parsha, we will take a closer look at this apparent contradiction. Listen now and learn how to:

    Free yourself from the unhappiness caused by unfulfilled desires

    Start really enjoying the good things in life

    Handle every nisayon like a baal bitachon and get more resilient to life’s challenges
    Even if you’re more comfortable than Jeff Bezos, you’re going to find this week's Shmuz very relevant.

  • The Pursuit of Happiness: Are You Happy?

    The Pursuit of Happiness: Are You Happy?
    Aug 18 2025

    Despite living in the relative luxury of the first world, many people feel as though their life is mediocre at best, and downright miserable at worst. In his introduction to The Pursuit of Happiness, Rabbi Shafier begins by challenging the listener to self-reflect on their own satisfaction with life, and offers some new insights as to what being ‘happy’ really means in our society.
