  • The Shmuz on Sefira
    Apr 14 2026

    Why would 24,000 talmidim of Rabbi Akiva — great men of Torah — be lost over something that seems so simple: a lack of respect?

    This powerful shiur uncovers what kavod really means — and why it is far more than just good manners. Through Chazal, real-life examples, and sharp insight, Rabbi Shafier reveals that respect is not optional; it is a foundational principle that shapes our relationships, our growth, and our avodas Hashem.

    From the way we view others as created b’tzelem Elokim, to the role respect plays in marriage and daily interactions, this session challenges you to rethink how you treat the people around you.

  • The Shmuz on the Parsha: Tazria Metzora
    Apr 13 2026

    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”. It makes sense that talking about even true events could cause serious damage to another Jew. But there’s more: did you know it’s relatively easy to stop talking lashon hara. You see, lashon hara isn’t driven by passion, by desire. It’s mostly due to a lack of awareness. By becoming more attentive to what the Torah demands, you can start amassing a serious amount of s’char for yourself. All it takes is for you to become more mindful and aware of what you’re saying.

  • At the Foot of Har Sinai: Part 1: A Monumental Moment for Mankind
    Apr 12 2026

    We have a mitzvah to remember Har Sinai, but to do that, we first need to understand what happened on that momentous day. At the Foot of Har Sinai brings the scene to life, capturing the majesty, awe, and unfolding of the events in a vivid and compelling way.

    While it’s difficult to fully grasp the magnitude of the miracles the Bnei Yisroel experienced, exploring them through the lens of our mesorah allows you to begin appreciating the depth of their joy and the power of Kabbolas HaTorah.

    In this introductory class, Rabbi Shafier guides you through the defining moment of your history — and shows how Matan Torah continues to shape your life and destiny until today.
