Emunah and the everyday
Rebbetzin Margie Szerer teaches with a strong focus on emunah — faith — and on how its principles translate into daily life. Rather than treating belief as a subject to admire from a distance, she asks how a person actually internalizes trust in Hashem when the day is ordinary or difficult. Her classes aim to move emunah from a concept a listener agrees with into a habit of mind they can carry through real decisions.
She pairs that with the wisdom of Pirkei Avot, the Ethics of the Fathers, which she connects to modern life in a practical way. The mishnayos become guidance a listener can use in their relationships and choices, not sayings to be quoted and set aside. This grounding in classic mussar gives her teaching a steady moral center while keeping the application close to home and the present moment.
The Living Happy series
A signature part of her library is the Living Happy series, a set of classes devoted to the Jewish understanding of joy and contentment. Across the installments she treats happiness not as a stroke of luck or a matter of circumstance, but as something a person cultivates through outlook and avodah. It is a hopeful message delivered without denying that life is often hard, which is what keeps it credible.
Because the series unfolds over multiple parts, a listener can build the ideas gradually rather than absorbing a single talk and moving on. That structure suits the subject: contentment is a practice more than an insight, and returning to it across several classes reinforces the point. For many listeners, this material is the heart of what she offers — Torah aimed squarely at how a person can live with genuine simcha.
Marriage, parsha, and the calendar
Rebbetzin Szerer also teaches on dating and marriage, offering guidance rooted in Torah values for building a Jewish home. Her approach here is of a piece with the rest of her teaching — attentive to the emotional realities of relationships while keeping the ideals in view — which makes her a practical voice for those thinking seriously about marriage and the work it involves over the long term.
She rounds out her library with classes on the weekly parsha and the Jewish calendar, from Parashat Vayeshev and Mikeitz to a shiur for Chanukah. Reading Chanukah for its themes of light and perseverance, she ties the season to the same concerns that animate her other work: faith, resilience, and joy. The result is a rounded body of teaching for women and families across the year.
