But this shmuz goes far beyond the Korban Pesach. With warmth, clarity, and profound insight, Rabbi Shafier explores how Hashem relates to us with perfect love and wisdom, why our tefillos matter, and how even painful tragedies force us to confront life’s true purpose. This is a moving perspective on growth, emunah, and understanding what Hashem wants from us in a world filled with both דין and רחמים.  This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
