How precise is Hashem’s justice? In this powerful class, Rabbi Shafier takes you to Kriyas Yam Suf and shows how every single Egyptian was judged differently, with each punishment calibrated with impossible precision. From there, he opens up a life-changing understanding: Hashem didn’t just create the world, He is actively maintaining it every second, orchestrating every detail with absolute control. Using vivid mashalim like a dream, virtual reality, and the cloud, Rabbi Shafier explains what it really means that Hashem is the energy source of all existence and that nothing happens outside His will. Once you hear this, you won’t look at “coincidences” the same way again.

Most people think Hashem created the world and then stepped back. In this eye-opening class, Rabbi Shafier explains why that idea couldn’t be more wrong. He breaks down how Hashem is not only judging the world, but actively powering it every second, meaning every thought, choice, and action is happening inside His system. Using clear, relatable analogies, including a video-game model of how reality actually works, Rabbi Shafier shows why your effort and tefillah genuinely change outcomes, even in a world Hashem fully controls. This class brings clarity to how judgment really works and leaves you with a much stronger sense of responsibility, meaning, and connection in your daily life.

The Jewish contribution to mankind is astounding. In every industry, in every profession, the Jewish people consistently play a significant role, far surpassing our tiny population. It’s clear that we are the am segula, the messengers for revealed good in the world. Nevertheless, our gan eden isn’t dependent on whether we are chess champions or nuclear physicists. The Torah teaches us that our olam haba will be built upon how much we choose to connect to the Ribbono shel Olam in this world.
Our constant, unrelenting challenge of life is that our souls are distracted, pulled by our nefesh habahami to indulge in the here and now. The antidote? Limud HaTorah. Through limud haTorah, we are able to connect with the Eternal and discover the part of us that craves transcendence. In this week’s podcast, learn how to ignite your neshama through the joy of learning and gain a genuine Torah outlook on what “tikkun olam” really means.
