    Haughty Humility
    Healthy Self-Esteem in Judaism
    Nobody likes the narcissist. It’s better to be humble and not to think too highly of yourself, it would seem. But knowing the dangers of self-loathing, perhaps there is virtue to haughtiness? Moses, the humblest of men and greatest of leaders teaches us how to find a healthy balance.

    On The Essence Of Chasidus - Part 12
    "The Secrets of Wine & Oil"
    (Recorded at the Intown Jewish Academy on July 17, 2016)
    In the mystical imagination, wine and oil are not simply liquids.
    You see, everything that exists in the physical plane has a spiritual parallel, which constitutes it's source and root On High. This is true of all things -- including wine and oil.
    The amazing thing is that when you discover the spiritual source of a thing, suddenly it's physical properties make so much sense. Like why wine intoxicates, and why oil stains are so difficult to get out. It's an incredibly powerful "aha!" moment.
    In this session of Kabbalah & Coffee you'll take a journey inside the dimension beyond ours, to uncover the deep secrets held by wine and oil.

  • On The Essence of Chasidus - 11 - Breakthrough
    On The Essence Of Chasidus - Part 11
    "Breakthrough"
    (Recorded at the Intown Jewish Academy on June 26, 2016)
    All of us are stuck in something. Maybe it's in our head -- the way we think. Maybe it's in our hearts -- the way we feel. Maybe it's in our actions -- the way we behave. But all of us are stuck in something.
    So if we're stuck, and we know we're stuck, how do we get unstuck? How do we experience the breakthrough we need?
    In this session of Kabbalah & Coffee we discuss being stuck and present ancient Jewish mystical guidance on getting unstuck. Achieving the breakthrough we need is doable -- if we just know how.
