About this title

Synopsis

Ask someone today, “How are you doing?” and you will hear some interesting responses. “Hanging in there.” “Surviving.” That is a reaction you would expect from a man who just found out he has terminal cancer and has six months to live. How do you explain it coming from people living in the lap of luxury, enjoying wealth, freedom, and almost limitless opportunities? Hanging in there? Surviving?! More than a mere expression, it is indicative of a deep dissatisfaction just beneath the surface. That’s not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s not the way Hashem wants it to be. The Shmuz on Life offers a road map and the inspiration to create a life of meaning and purpose — to stop merely surviving and start really living.

About the Author

Born and bred in Kew Garden Hills, NY, Rabbi Shafier joined the Chofetz Chaim Yeshiva after high school. Shortly after he married, he and his family moved to Rochester, NY where he was a high school rebbe for twelve years. It was there that the Shmuz was born. He then moved to Monsey, NY where he was a rebbe in the new Chofetz Chaim branch for three years. Upon the Rosh Yeshiva's request, he stopped teaching to devote his time to running the Tiferes Bnei Torah and the Shmuz. Rabbi Shafier, a happily married father of six children, currently resides in Monsey, NY.
