  • You Be The Judge - Lesson 1
    You Be the Judge
    An Exhilarating Exploration of Jewish Civil Law
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on August 10, 2021)
    Lesson 1
    The Parasite
    Is it fair to do business using your neighbor's cow? May you sublet your apartment for more than you pay in rent? How do we distinguish creative opportunity from crass opportunism?
    You Be the Judge presents real cases brought before the beit din, the court system of Jewish Law. We provide the cases and the primary source texts from the Talmud, and you grapple with the facts in order to arrive at satisfying solutions. You will have the opportunity to question, discuss, and argue, based on principle and precedent. You need no prior knowledge of the Talmud and no formal legal training. There are no prerequisites other than an open mind. You take the lead. You Be the Judge!

  • Overcoming Folly - 28 - Light Leaks
    Overcoming Folly - Part 28
    "Light Leaks"
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on August 15, 2021)
    Remember those old film cameras? The ones where you actually opened the back of the camera and dropped in a roll of 35mm Kodak film?
    Ah, the good old days! :)
    One "feature" of film is that (by design) it's highly sensitive to light. Which means if you open the back of the camera while the film is unspooled you'll expose and ruin the film.
    These light leaks are one of the potential pitfalls of traditional film. And, as the Kabbalists teach us, the same phenomenon can occur in the spiritual realms as well. When the light is too bright, when the recipient is too sensitive, havoc ensues...
    In this very special LIGHT edition of Kabbalah & Coffee, we look at the mystical meaning of lights, leaks, and how this impacts our reality in so many more ways than we can imagine.

  • Torah Studies 5781 - 41 - Shoftim (Let Go and Move Forward)
    Let Go and Move Forward
    To Leave Egypt, You Must Really Leave It Behind. All of It
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on August 11, 2021)
    A Jewish king is not allowed to own too many horses. Sounds interesting, but why? So he doesn’t head back to Egypt and settle there. A fascinating ride through some complex halachic intricacies lands us at the doorstep of this important conclusion: There’s no such thing as “partially” leaving Egypt.

  • Overcoming Folly - 27 - The Kabbalah of TikTok
    Overcoming Folly - Part 27
    "The Kabbalah of TikTok"
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on August 8, 2021)
    Ever watch a TikTok video? You know, the ones where people are lip syncing and dancing in perfect(ly hilarious) choreography? Great -- so we're on the same page then! :)
    See, there are two types of dancing. There's spontaneous, I'm-not-thinking-about-how-I-move-or-how-I-look-when-I-move dancing. And then there's very intentional, very deliberate, very choreographed dancing.
    Two different experiences. According to Kabbalah, they are two very different experiences of the soul, originating in two very different places within the soul.
    In this TikTok inspired edition of Kabbalah, we get to know the contours of your soul and how it manifests in your body. And discover the spiritual meaning of going viral.
