  • Overcoming Folly - 43 - Lessons From a Corpse
    Overcoming Folly - Part 43
    "Lessons From a Corpse"
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on December 26, 2021)
    Of all creatures, only the human was created first as a lifeless body and then infused with a life-giving soul. Not the trees. Not the birds. Not the animals. They were all created alive.
    Why the two-step creative process with human beings? Why do Adam and Eve begin their adventure lifeless? And what does this all mean for us?
    In this session of Kabbalah & Coffee, we unravel the mysteries of creation and learn timeless lessons from the first corpses in history -- bodies who would ultimately join the living.

    Is there anything more emblematic of religious dogma than keeping kosher? Kashrut determines not only what we eat, but also where and how we travel, and whom we break bread with. And for what purpose? To gain insight into the kosher lifestyle, we survey the basics of the dietary code and weigh whether these laws are really about staying healthy—or staying spiritual. Then, moving from the kitchen to the factory, we’ll hear firsthand from experts in the field to learn just what it is a certification agency does.
