    Beyond Right - Lesson 6
    Beyond Presumption of Innocence
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on June 14, 2022)
    While a presumption of innocence can protect defendants from liability, it is not quite a declaration of uprightness. Jewish law goes so far as to presume every person's core goodness. In this class we explore the sources of this positive perspective on human nature and its practical ramifications.

    Overcoming Folly - Part 62
    "Creation vs. Evolution"
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on June 12, 2022)
    January 9, 2007. That date may not stand out to you, but it should. Because on that day, everything changed. Our lives today are radically shaped by what happened on that day.
    See, change can come in two forms. It can be iterative, or it can be revolutionary. Iterative change is gradual and progressive. Radical change happens all at once. It hits you upside the head. You never see it coming. But once it comes it packs a big punch.
    In this week's session of Kabbalah & Coffee, we trace the spiritual origins of radical and iterative change. We see how the universe is predicated on both systems, and how each plays an important role in our collective and personal loves. Plus, we discuss and debate the virtues of modern technology.

    The Case against Passive Parenting
    You Can’t Control the Result, but You Can Certainly Control the Process
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on June 8, 2022)
    In one the Bible’s most rousing stories, a weeping childless woman makes a solemn vow to consecrate her son to G-d, should she be so blessed. The woman is Chanah, and the son the prophet Samuel. From what would appear to be a dubiously legal move, we learn that parents must do their utmost to guide their children along the proper path.

    Beyond Right - Lesson 5
    Beyond Lawful Ownership
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on June 7, 2022)
    Is the claim of ownership anything more than a subjective social agreement? A foundation of Chasidic thought is that material possessions contain spiritual energy that is specific to their owners. This perspective has legal and moral ramifications for how we relate to our possessions and the possessions of others.

  • Torah Studies 5782 - 33 - Shavuot (The Indomitable Power of Torah)
    The Indomitable Power of Torah
    Whatever Your Reason, Keep at It. Eventually It’ll Rope You In.
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on June 1, 2022)
    Conventional wisdom would say that if you’re studying something for the wrong reasons, you shouldn’t study it at all. But that’s not what the Torah says. And that’s because there’s a unique dynamic at play: the Torah is G-d’s wisdom; eventually, it’ll awaken something inside of you.
