For more than twenty years, Rabbi Ben Tzion Shafier has been helping people improve their lives through practical Torah wisdom. Through The Shmuz’s thousands of podcasts, videos, articles, courses, and live presentations, individuals and families around the world have found guidance in marriage, parenting, personal growth and emotional well-being.
Here in Toms River, many residents benefit from Rabbi Shafier’s advice on a weekly basis. His popular weekly column appears in Achdus Magazine, where readers regularly turn to his practical Torah-based guidance on marriage, relationships, personal growth, and life’s everyday challenges.
Today, The Shmuz is launching its annual fundraising campaign—its most important campaign of the year. Rabbi Shafier says the campaign is what allows The Shmuz to continue producing and distributing the content that has impacted so many lives.
“Every shiur, every video, every marriage program, and every piece of chizuk comes from this one fundraiser,” Rabbi Shafier explained. “People constantly reach out to tell us that something they learned through The Shmuz helped save a marriage, strengthened a relationship, or guided them through a difficult period in life.”
All of The Shmuz’s content is made available free of charge and reaches thousands of people each month. Producing high-quality classes, videos, podcasts, and educational programs requires significant time, effort, and resources.
Rabbi Shafier is inviting listeners, viewers, and supporters to partner with The Shmuz and help ensure that this work continues for years to come.
“If you’ve benefited from The Shmuz, or know someone who has, please consider joining us,” Rabbi Shafier said. “I can’t do this alone. Together, we can continue bringing Torah wisdom, clarity, and chizuk to those who need it most.”

The annual campaign officially begins this Sunday, and community members are encouraged to participate and help ensure that this valuable resource continues reaching families in Toms River and around the world.
