We recommend listening to the teaching, Motivated by Mortality | Part 1, before listening to this episode.

Afterburn: also known in the fitness world as the “afterburn effect.” Simply put, the more intense the exercise, the more oxygen your body consumes afterward. 

This effect could occur spiritually after Rabbi Berkson's intense weekly teachings. This Afterburn Q&A session lets your mind and soul absorb more understanding (oxygen).

Some of the topics covered are:
• Planes and cars
• Do this more quickly…
• Procrastinate on procrastinating 
• Life is too short to have to put up with toxic people 
• Are you afraid to die?
• What you’ve been given is not just for you
• Looking forward to the rest/peace from physical pain
• Worry and an “evil eye”?
• You can pray for anything, but understand this…
• The return of the Messiah and physical death
• The measure of faith/belief? (Romans 12:3)
• Deliberate rest vs. laziness
