Derech Hashem: The Righting Reflex

Why do our best attempts to correct others so often make things worse? In this powerful class, Rabbi Shafier explores the “righting reflex”, the instinct to fix what we see as wrong, and reveals how it’s rooted in a deep inner conflict that began with Adam’s sin and continues to shape our struggles today.

Through the lens of the Derech Hashem, Rabbi Shafier offers practical, sometimes uncomfortable exercises that retrain the mind and heart to think and feel correctly, shifting the focus from fixing others to refining ourselves. Insightful, honest, and deeply practical, this class invites you to rethink personal growth and makes a compelling case for why real change starts within.
