    One Person’s Journey from Hate to Love
    With Hussein Aboubakr Mansour, Author & Human Rights Activist
    (Recorded live in Atlanta on June 20, 2021)

    "The Power of a Mitzvah"
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on June 13, 2021)
    The Torah contains 613 mitzvot -- 248 positive commandments ("do's"), and 365 negative commandments ("do not's"). But what exactly is a mitzvah? Is it a Divine command? A good deed? An item on some cosmic spiritual checklist?
    It's all of the above... and so much more!
    In this very special edition of Kabbalah & Coffee, we take an unforgettable journey to discover the true power of a mitzvah -- and the impact every mitzvah makes. We look at the meaning of mitzvot in general, and also take a deep dive into the soul of specific mitzvot.
