    "Who needs a redemption?"
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live in Atlanta on April 27, 2021)
    Though it will solve every speck of ill in the world, the idea of Redemption is not a response to strife. Rather, it's an independent and foundational tenet of Jewish belief. Where does it fit within the bigger story of Creation?

    Overcoming Folly - Part 15
    "When the Moon Complained"
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on April 25, 2021)
    Once upon a time, the moon was big and bright. In fact, it was as big and bright as the sun. It shone of its own light, and it ruled in the sky.
    But the moon was not alone. There was another sovereign orb, a shining star that rivaled the moon's light. This rival was none other than the sun.
    So the moon came before G-d and lodged a complaint. "Two rulers cannot rule one kingdom," the moon declared. "This town ain't big enough for the both of us. Something needs to change!"
    "I agree," said G-d. "So now go diminish yourself!"
    And from then on, the moon lost its light.
    This, the Talmud says, is the origin story of the moon, a celestial body that reflects a light not its own and waxes and wanes through its monthly sky dance. And this tale contains powerful insights about the nature of existence and the purpose of our lives.
    In this absolutely magnificent session of Kabbalah & Coffee, we explore the Kabbalah of the moon, the sun, the complaint, and the aftermath. You will never look at the sky the same again!
