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.

Rewriting Who You Are

Real Change Can—and Should!—Be Uncomfortable

With Rabbi Ari Sollish

Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Tuesday, May 13, 2025

True goodness isn’t only about following your instincts—it’s about reshaping them. The Torah’s mitzvot of giving don’t just teach generosity; they force us to break our natural tendencies, surrender control, and give even when it’s uncomfortable. This class explores why real growth means going beyond what feels right and learning to do what is right.

Four Dimensions of Sin

With Rabbi Ari Sollish

Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, May 18, 2025

Before the world began, a cosmic debate unfolded: what should happen to the sinner?

Some voices argued, no second chances. Break the system, and you’re out. Others pushed back: there has to be a way to repair, to return.

Then G-d weighed in.

Not only can the sinner come back -- they can come back stronger. Greater than before. Not a step backward, but a launch forward. Double the strength.

But here’s the deeper question: what does that say about sin itself? Is it a flaw in the soul, or a hidden doorway to transformation? And why did G-d open this up for discussion in the first place?

In this session of Kabbalah Café we dive deep into the nature of sin, in four dimensions, and uncover a radically redemptive path forward. One that speaks to all of us.
