The Shmuz Live #302: The Reason for Creation

from The Shmuz · host JewishPodcasts.fm

In this must-listen class, Rabbi Shafier shows you how Dovid HaMelech used praise and tefillah to rebuild his relationship with Hashem, reshape his view of reality, and come back stronger after being publicly humiliated. Along the way, Rabbi Shafier tackles the questions people are scared to say out loud: if Hashem is so good, why does life feel so hard, and why do so many people carry a warped, frightening picture of Hashem?. If you’ve ever felt guilty, disconnected, or tired of blaming everyone else just to survive emotionally, this class will hit you right where you need it most.
