A New Paradigm of Prayer

With Rabbi Ari Sollish

(Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on May 14, 2019)

Burdensome. Unrealistic. Superfluous. Boring. A staple of human routine for millennia, prayer is nowadays often viewed as irrelevant. This lesson dissolves these negative labels by explaining the ultimate goal of prayer. It demonstrates the real-time relevance and indispensability of prayer for every human. And it guides us toward personalizing our prayers for a deeply meaningful experience.

A Word Is Not Just a Word

With Rabbi Ari Sollish

(Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on May 15, 2019)

For too long, we have been told how we ought to refrain from negative speech. It’s time to flip the narrative and take an opposite approach: speak, and speak a lot. Just make sure it’s positive speech. Never underestimate the impact of a good word -- so get talking!

"Lessons from a Snail"

With Rabbi Ari Sollish

(Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on May 12, 2019)

Everything in our universe, from the loftiest celestial bodies to the lowest terrestrial creatures, is a product of Divine will and wisdom, powered by Divine light and energy. And everything in existence, by virtue of its spiritual origins, can teach us myriad lessons about higher truths.

Even a snail.

In this session of Kabbalah & Coffee we explore wonderful mystical lessons taught to us by various creatures -- including the secret of the snail.

Everything Has a Time and Place: Use Wisely

With Rabbi Ari Sollish

(Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on May 8, 2019)

What if you were as strong as Samson, rich as Jeff Bezos, and beautiful as Cinderella? An interesting question, but completely irrelevant to you. A curious mix of the yearly donations to the Temple and an announcement about forbidden mixtures packs a powerful punch about staying -- and thriving -- in your lane.

Decoding the Universe - Part 23

"The Limits of Infinity"

With Rabbi Ari Sollish

(Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on May 5, 2019)

The Jewish G-d is beyond description. Beyond image. Beyond limits. Hence, the rationale behind the Biblical prohibition of ascribing any form to G-d.

The Kabbalists take this further. G-d is not merely beyond. G-d is beyond beyond. Infinity, in its own way, is likewise a limitation. And G-d is not limited to unboundedness either.

This serves as the starting point for limitation and definition, which marks our created reality. And it forms the nexus between infinite and finite, Creator and created, spirit and matter.

In this session of Kabbalah & Coffee we explore the paradox of being and discover the infinite in the finite, and the finite in the infinite.
