Why does life feel like a constant tug-of-war between what the body wants and what the soul knows is right? In this unforgettable class on the Derech Hashem, Rabbi Shafier explains that Hashem created man from two opposing parts, the guf and the neshamah, and that this inner war is not a flaw but the very purpose of existence. He shows why beauty and misery can coexist, and why this world was never meant to be a place of lasting comfort, but of spiritual growth and accomplishment. Through a vivid mashal of a princess living among peasants, Rabbi Shafier reveals that true happiness comes from aligning with our spiritual nature. If you’ve ever wondered why life is so hard, this class will give you a perspective that changes everything.
