Decoding the Universe - Part 28
"he Unfathomable"
With Rabbi Ari Sollish

Some things are understandable to all. They're easy to fathom, easy to grasp, and everyone "gets" them.

Some things are not understandable to all. They're not easy to fathom or grasp or "get." It takes a refined mind and a sharp intellect to make sense of them.

And then there is is that which is simply unfathomable. It cannot be understood -- not because of the limitations of the mind, but because it does not exist in the realm of intellect. No matter how smart of clever one might be, this will always remain beyond understanding, because it is not to be understood.

The Kabbalists tell us that G-d is of this third kind. G-d is the ultimate Unfathomable One. It's not that we don't understand G-d because we're not wise enough. It's because G-d is not an intellectual formula to be understood.

In this session of Kabbalah & Coffee we explore the knowable and the unfathomable, and get ever closer to the Truth of G-d.

Kabbalah Café
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.
