The Real Meaning of Tzedakah

Why Giving Shouldn’t Feel Like Earning

Recorded Live at The Torah Center ATL on Tuesday, August 4th, 2026

Giving tzedakah during the High Holidays reminds us that we’re all recipients of G-d’s generosity. In this lesson, we’ll examine how tzedakah reflects a deeper truth: our actions only carry weight because G-d has chosen to give them meaning. And for that, we are eternally grateful.

The Power of Reputation

With Rabbi Ari Sollish

Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, August 2nd, 2026

Imagine a mighty and fearsome king. You live in constant reverence of him and his decrees. You'd never dream of crossing his will.

Here's the strange part: you've never actually met him.

Some leaders rule through interaction. Others rule through reputation alone. What gives reputation that kind of power over an entire nation? Can we even measure something so intangible? And what can we borrow from it for our own lives?

In this session of Kabbalah Café we unpack the hidden power of reputation.

What's Your Number

With Rabbi Ari Sollish

Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, July 26th, 2026

Numbers hold deep meaning in Judaism. Some are famous, like 18 (chai), 10 (utterances, commandments), and 7 (creation). Others are a bit more low-key, like 42 and 49.

Both of these latter numbers are multiples of seven, and both mark real stages of spiritual growth. But they pull in opposite directions. 42 is the ache of yearning, reaching for something beyond us. 49 is the steady work of integration, making that something part of who we are.

A healthy human being, Kabbalah teaches, has a healthy 42 and a healthy 49.

In this session of Kabbalah Café we explore the mystical significance of numbers, and discover what they reveal about our own spiritual journey.

Indecisive

With Rabbi Ari Sollish

Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, July 19, 2026

Have you ever stood frozen, unsure which path to take? Chances are, you were missing a little malchut.

The Kabbalists speak of the sefirot, the cosmic forces that shape us from without and within. Malchut is the last of these, and the most decisive. It's the force that takes an idea and makes it real, that turns potential into action, that gets things done.

Without malchut, even the loftiest vision stays a dream.

In this session of Kabbalah Café we uncover the secret of malchut and learn how to draw on its power in our own lives.

Creation's Hidden Code

With Rabbi Ari Sollish

Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, July 5th, 2026

The Torah’s account of Creation is more than the story of how the world came to be. It is a map of how Divine energy flows into reality every single moment.

Why was light created before the sun? Why does the Torah separate Creation into seven distinct days? And what does any of this have to do with our own personalities, relationships, and spiritual growth?

Kabbalah teaches that each day of Creation corresponds to one of the seven emotional sefirot, the Divine attributes through which G-d continually creates and sustains the universe. Kindness. Discipline. Harmony. Endurance. Humility. Connection. Presence. Together, they reveal the hidden blueprint of existence and the inner architecture of the human soul.

In this session of Kabbalah Café we journey through the seven days of Creation and uncover the profound spiritual forces that continue to shape our lives today.
