  • Judaism at Home - Lesson 3
    Judaism at Home - Lesson 3
    Hear O Israel
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live in Atlanta on May 19, 2020)
    Whether deliberate or spontaneous, vocal or mental, we frequently find ourselves praying. Many find the concept of prayer distant and mysterious, and see the prayer book as a volume that’s closed to their intellection. This lesson seeks to bring prayer to the vibrant hearts and inspired minds of Jews everywhere. Participants will discover the philosophy of prayer, build familiarity with the prayer book, and gain an implementable understanding of the elegant structure and sophisticated mechanics that underlie our daily prayers.

  • Face Masks & The Hostage Dilemma
    Face Masks & The Hostage Dilemma
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live in Atlanta on May 18, 2020)
    How do we balance the right of individuals to choose their own way with the right of the larger group to protect its interests? Can the state mandate that I wear a face mask or shut my business? How about seat belt and motorcycle helmet laws? Can law enforcement force Apple to compromise the security of its phones to potentially gain information related to an investigation?
    We look at the interest tension between individualism and collectivism through the lens of the classic hostage dilemma. Should a community or government pay an exorbitant ransom to obtain the release of one of its own? On a private citizen or family member be permitted to pay the ransom?
    This session compares and contrasts U.S. law and Jewish law on the matter, and comes to some very important inclusions.

  • Beyond Belief - Lesson 5
    Beyond Belief - Lesson 5
    Seeking Heaven
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live in Atlanta)
    In Lesson Two, we saw that G-d speaks to us through the prophets, but can we also speak to G-d? What can we learn about ourselves from the way in which we choose to pray? How does G-d respond to our actions and our words? Do we have to wait till after we die to find our eternal reward? Or can we find heaven (and hell) on earth? In this lesson, we examine prayer as a form of self-assessment, as well as G-d's reward and punishment of our actions.

    "Sea World"
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live in Atlanta on May 17, 2020)
    Kabbalah speaks of many different worlds. Many different types of worlds.
    Generally, there are two categories: revealed worlds and hidden worlds. Like dry land and the sea, these two realities reflect two very different states of being. One where being is apparent, the other, where being is only noticeable beneath the surface.
    In this exciting edition of Kabbalah & Coffee, we'll put on our Kabbalistic wetsuits and take a deep dive into the mysteries of reality to discover realms of existence that are right around us -- but we've never seen before.
