  • Learning How to Love - 47 - Up & Down
    Learning How to Love - Part 47
    "Up & Down"
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live in Atlanta on November 22, 2020)
    In the ancient Kabbalistic text Tikunei Zohar there is an enigmatic statement: "The Infinite Light extends upward without end, and extends downward without limit."
    Many subsequent generations of Kabbalists have discussed and debated its meaning. Is it simply speaking to the infinite expanse of the light, above and below? Or is it perhaps speaking of two dimensions of reality, born of these two distinct "movements" of the infinite light?
    In this light-filled edition of Kabbalah & Coffee, we mine this Kabbalistic teaching and come away with profound insights about the nature of creation and human personality, and discover pathways to creating peace and harmony among us all.

    Two Sides of the Teshuvah Coin
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on November 18, 2020)
    To look at your life in shambles and exclaim, “Oy!” is decidedly unproductive. It may look good, but it’s not going to get you anywhere. Take a cue from Yitzchak, who prefaced a blessing to his son with . . . visions of a plowed field. Why? Because the engine for true growth is in the dismemberment wrought by the plowshares.

    Joseph and his Brothers
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live in Atlanta on November 17, 2020)
    Our exploration of the deeper significance of the conflict between Joseph and his brothers takes us from a history of Jewish leadership, to the structure of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, to an enigmatic debate recorded in the Talmud on the question: Which is greater, learning or action? We discover that there are two parallel quests embedded in the human soul, each of which - as well as the tension between them - is essential to our mission in life.
