  • Overcoming Folly - 6 - Truth, Lies & Stories
    Overcoming Folly - Part 6
    "Truth, Lies & Stories"
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on February 7, 2021)
    The mystics refer to this world as alma deshikra -- the world of falsehood. Not that there isn't truth in our world; there certainly is. But none of us can escape the lies of this plane of existence.
    In a sense, our very perception of reality is the first big lie. The fact that we perceive ourselves as fully autonomous beings, the fact that we don't immediately sense our Divine Source, is the first untruth upon which all others are built. The first Big Truth that we must learn, then, is about the true nature of reality -- the true nature of life itself.
    In this action-packed session of Kabbalah & Coffee, we explore truth, lies, and the marvelous stories we tell ourselves. We will take a deep look inside the origins of deception and learn practical guidance to help align ourselves with truth. Because, as Kabbalah teaches, without truth there can be no life.

    Our Evolving Relationship with the Departed
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live in Atlanta on February 2, 2021)
    Is death painful for souls? Is my presence felt when I visit a grave?

We discuss those rituals and how, once freed, the soul's connection to the living continues in new and powerful ways.

  • Overcoming Folly - 5 - How to Train Your Dragon
    Overcoming Folly - Part 5
    "How to Train Your Dragon"
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on January 31, 2021)
    Each of us is born with an inner "animal," referred to in Kabbalah as the nefesh habehamit. The nature of this inner animal varies from person to person. Its particular likes and dislikes -- along with the intensity of its passion -- is unique to every individual. Just as no two people are alike, so are no two animal natures alike.
    But there is a common truth to all animal natures: the more we feed the animal, the stronger it becomes.
    In this powerful session of Kabbalah & Coffee, we explore the animal within, discover its virtues and liabilities, and most importantly, learn how to train our inner dragon.
