Even if we have heard of Shovevim before, we may have turned away from learning about it because of the negative perception we have of the concept.

Shovevim is widely misunderstood.

Shovevim is here to make SURE you get maximum pleasure and joy, not to stifle it!

There are two kinds of pleasures. One is easy to get, but cheap and fake. It leaves you feeling sick after.

The other requires some work- you have to tap in. It's not easy to grab, but when you get it, you get unlimited joy and pleasure!

By detoxing from the fake pleasure, we can start enjoying real, lasting, satisfying pleasure.

Have you heard of Shovevim? Shovevim is a topic most of us know very little about, and understand even less. In this new series, Charlie uncovers a completely new and breathtaking approach based on the Biyam Darkecha. We're in a period of time that has a specific spiritual power that we can tap into, and today we'll uncover the incredible potential of Shovevim.

In Episode 8, Charlie delves into the profound relationship between jealousy and faith. He explains how jealousy often creeps into our lives when we compare ourselves to others, thinking their success somehow diminishes our own. Drawing from personal experiences and Torah wisdom, Charlie shows how jealousy serves as a litmus test for our faith in God’s plan. He discusses the dangerous mindset of chasing what others have and how it can block the blessings meant specifically for us. Instead of competing, the episode encourages us to strengthen our faith and trust that God knows what we need, when we need it.
