This is part 5 of a solo series where R' Shlomo Buxbaum explores the deeper structure of the Book of Bereishis (Genesis) and how it directly relates to our own personal journey to self-mastery.

It is based on R' Shlomo's first book The 4 Elements of an Empowered Life (Mosaica Press, 2021), which uncovers a hidden thread woven throughout the book of Bereishis, showing how four themes that are deeply connected to our own life missions, are alluded to over and over again, giving us the tools to lead lives of magnificence!

You can purchase the book on Amazon and wherever Jewish books are sold:
