The Shmuz on the Parsha: Parshas Vayechi: A Ben Olam Haba

Parshas Vayechi- A Ben Olam HaBa Every painful drop of suffering in olam hazeh has the potential to change your everlasting eternity. So why, in this week’s parsha, does Yaakov Avinu long for more tranquility? We know that our Avos wanted nothing more than to serve Hashem in total sincerity- if Yaakov Avinu wanted shalva, it was only to enhance his avodas Hashem. Hashem answers that his appreciation for olam haba was lacking. Does that mean that Yaakov Avinu wasn’t the ultimate ben olam haba? Given over with Rabbi Shafier’s trademark lucidity, this Shmuz delivers a contemporary perspective on the purpose of hardships in this world. Listen in to discover: -Why you gain from your nisayonos - What’s expected of you - How Hashem set up this world as a training ground, so you can receive your ultimate reward in the World to Come.  This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
