  • Curious Tales of the Talmud 2021 - Lesson 3
    The Vindication of an Idolatrous King
    Seeing the Divine within Everything
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live in Atlanta on June 29, 2021)
    The lessons of a vinegar-fueled lamp; singing toddlers; and a tale of a king, a sage, and a dream affect how we judge others and help us to find purpose in our nation's exile and within all that transpires in our lives.

  • Overcoming Folly - 23 - Revenge of the Dark Side
    Overcoming Folly - Part 23
    "Revenge of the Dark Side"
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on June 27, 2021)
    If something seems too good to be true -- it usually is.
    Sure you can cut the line, break the rules, play the con... but only for a time. At some point, the jig will be up. And when that happens, the house of cards you built will come tumbling down.
    Spiritually, too, we can play by the rules -- or try to outsmart the system. And while the latter might seem to be an attractive and effective option, it's not a sustainable model.
    In this edition of Kabbalah & Coffee, we look at the allure -- and danger -- of dancing with the dark side, and discover why revenge is darkness's only option.

  • Torah Studies 5781 - 34 - Balak (Redefining Messiah)
    Redefining Messiah
    Are You Waiting for the Right Messiah?
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on June 23, 2021)
    Ask anyone in synagogue what Messiah is, and you’ll get answers about utopia, peace, love, and harmony. While that’s not untrue, it’s time to take a proper look at the legal definition of Messiah so we know what we’re waiting for. The answer may surprise you.

  • Curious Tales of the Talmud 2021 - Lesson 2
    When G-d Prayed
    A Study in the Art of Anthropomorphism
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live in Atlanta on June 22, 2021)
    G-d prayed, sinned, and even requested a blessing from a human being. Talmudic anthropomorphisms highlight the importance of vulnerability in relationships and how being vulnerable shapes the character and essence of our relationship with G-d.

  • Overcoming Folly - 22 - Fighting Kelipah
    Overcoming Folly - Part 22
    "Fighting Kelipah"
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on June 20, 2021)
    Kelipah is the force that obscures holiness within the universe and our own selves. It is the "shell" that covers the true essence of a thing, creating the appearance of something entirely different.
    Our job? Remove the shells!
    In this session of Kabbalah & Coffee, we dive deep inside the world of kelipah and discover how to combat the obfuscating exterior of reality. We describe different types of kelipah -- hard shells, soft peels -- and learn the spiritual process by which we access hidden truth.
