"Emotional Maturity"

With Rabbi Ari Sollish

(Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on June 2, 2019)

Children can get upset easily. And they can also get happy easily. They sometimes seem to have wide emotional swings from one extreme to the other.

Maturity, according to one Kabbalistic definition, is marked by emotional equanimity. Not getting too high with the highs, or too low with the lows. Keeping an even keel. Staying in control.

Where does this emotional maturity come from? What inner ingredient is necessary to reign in our tempestuous feelings?

In this session of Kabbalah & Coffee we explore the roots of maturity and glean powerful life guidance from the teachings of the mystics.

Achieving True Transcendence in Prayer

With Rabbi Ari Sollish

(Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on June 4, 2019)

G-d created a complex universe bursting with wonder, beauty, and awe. But G-d is far beyond all that. Although we exist within the confines of nature, we can reach into the infinite presence of G-d beyond creation. This lesson explores the mysticism and meaning of the Shema prayer, Judaism's ultimate declaration of faith and our portal to a relationship with a G-d who is both transcendent and intimate.
