Kabbalah Café
Know Your Soul - Part 29
In Hot Water
With Rabbi Ari Sollish
Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, May 25, 2025
How should you lead -- a business, a family, a life? With a firm grip or a soft touch? With discipline or compassion?
Jewish mystics teach that just as no two faces are alike, no two souls are the same. Some souls are wired for chesed -- kindness, expansiveness. Others are rooted in gevurah -- strength, restraint. That spiritual DNA shapes who we are at our core.
But what about G-d? What’s G-d’s default mode -- gentle and giving, or exacting and firm? The Kabbalists have an answer. And it’s not what you might expect.
In this session of Kabbalah Café, we’ll explore the surprising side of G-d’s personality, and why, according to ancient teachings, G-d wanted the world to start off… in hot water.
