Kabbalah Café
All for the Sake of Heaven - Part 1
The Magic of Materialism
With Rabbi Ari Sollish
Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, June 22, 2025

What if your next coffee, conversation, or business meeting could unleash fierce divine energy?

Welcome to our new Kabbalah Café series, where we dive into the profound mystical work "All For the Sake of Heaven," a spiritual roadmap that redefines how we engage with the world.

While other paths teach retreat from the material, Kabbalah reveals a deeper truth: the physical isn’t a distraction, it’s a portal. The mundane moments of daily life hold the power to connect us with the Divine, and this series will show you how.

Together, we explore how to elevate ordinary activities like eating, working, and relating, discover inner harmony with self, world, and G-d, and transform physical living into a spiritual mission.

This is practical mysticism at its most powerful -- real, accessible, and deeply relevant.

All for the Sake of Heaven - Part 4
Parasites
With Rabbi Ari Sollish
Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, July 27, 2025

There are energies in the universe that do not shine with their own light. They feed off others.

They consume without giving, exist without serving, and cloak themselves in distortion. The Kabbalists call this kelipah -- a shell that hides truth, a force that masks the Divine.

Where holiness gives and humbles, kelipah takes and inflates. It steals in two ways: from the lowest dregs, or by reaching beyond the veil, into realms too subtle for discernment, where even darkness can disguise itself as light.

In this session of Kabbalah Café we explore the spiritual mechanics behind these parasitic forces, and learn how to guard your light from being drawn into their orbit.
