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.

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 sugges...

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 ...

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 Shafi...

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 arou...
