  • Well-Connected - Lesson 6 - The Kinds of Kindness
    Lesson 6 - The Kinds of Kindness
    With Mrs. Leah Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on April 4, 2022)
    Sure it’s nice to be nice, but sometimes you need specifics. Rather than relying on vague ethical pronouncements, the Torah gets into the nitty-gritty and ensures that we express our love in the concrete, with commandments like giving charity, hosting guests in the home, comforting the bereaved, and returning lost property. Beyond simply studying how to properly perform these action mitzvot, this class presents them in a new light, making us rethink the general nature of the ethical obligations we bear toward our fellow human.

  • Overcoming Folly - 56 - Fire. Air. Water. Earth.
    Overcoming Folly - Part 56
    "Fire. Air. Water. Earth."
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on April 3, 2022)
    The ancient philosophers spoke of four essential elements of which all existence is composed -- fire, air, water, and earth. These elements are the core building blocks of life.
    The Jewish mystics explore the significance of these four elements. Each is an archetype representing an entire realm of reality, distinct from the others. Together, they represent the fusion of four disparate worlds, the intimate union of heaven and earth.
    In this session of Kabbalah & Coffee, we peel back the layers of existence and uncover the fabulous four properties that drive beingness. The story each tells is incredible. Together, they are breathtaking.

    The Case for Spiritual Adrenaline
    Understanding the Unnatural Nature of Time Itself
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on March 30, 2022)
    Rosh Hashanah is in the autumn, right? Well, sort of. There’s a case to be made for the month of Nissan, just before Passover, being considered the “beginning of the year.” What’s the point of this alternate beginning? It’s about mapping an unnatural and miraculous way of being onto the very course of time itself. Surprisingly, for a Jew, it’s a happy partnership.
