  • Learning How to Love - 31 - Darkness
    Learning How to Love - Part 31
    "Darkness"
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live in Atlanta on June 28, 2020)
    Here's a truth of life: Darkness always precedes light.
    It's been like this from the very beginning. First evening, then morning. Darkness, then light.
    And so the pattern repeats itself in our lives. The greatest breakthroughs come from the greatest struggles. It's when you don't see a way out that the light bursts through, impossibly.
    Or as the mystics put it: "The darkest moment of night immediately precedes the burst of dawn."
    In this powerful session of Kabbalah & Coffee we uncover the truth of darkness and expose its brilliant secret. What we learn will change everything.

  • Gun Battle - Debating the Right to Bear Arms
    Gun Battle
    Debating the Right to Bear Arms
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live in Atlanta on June 17, 2020)
    The stories in the news are heartbreaking and gut-wrenching. Another person comes with firearms and starts shooting at people. In a movie theater, a classroom, the workplace—it’s the same horrific scene.
    What are we supposed to do about gun violence? Should we seek to change permissive gun laws? Should we alter restrictive gun laws? How do we balance competing interests? Should we let the evil of the few result in a restriction of freedom for the many? What teachings from the Torah are relevant to this topic, and how might they shape the discussion?
    In this landmark session we look at the gun control debate through the lens of modern society and Jewish wisdom.
