"Why Words Matter"

With Rabbi Ari Sollish

(Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on August 25, 2019)

The Kabbalists conceive of a reality where language plays a pivotal role. Nothing exists insofar as existence is concerned without letters and words. There are letters of thought, letters of speech, and even letters of action.

In this session of Kabbalah & Coffee we explore the mysterious world of language and discover why, on every level imaginable, words certainly do matter.

Shattered Dreams

Ground Zero is a Construction Site

With Rabbi Ari Sollish

(Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on August 21, 2019)

But what most people don’t know is that those broken shards are remembered not as a tragedy, but as a moment of glory. For buried in those broken pieces are wild dreams and incredible new beginnings.
