Journey of the Soul 2024
Lesson 2: Taking Leave
With Rabbi Ari Sollish
Recorded Live at The Torah Center ATL on Wednesday, August 21, 2024

Is death painful for souls? Is my presence felt when I visit a grave? Judaism’s pre-burial and burial rituals accompany the soul’s gradual transition from a limiting physical life to a completely spiritual one. We discuss those rituals and how, once freed, the soul’s connection to the living continues in new and powerful ways.

Be Like a Tree
Identifying the Hallmark of Our Humanity—And How to Make It Last
With Rabbi Ari Sollish
Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Tuesday, September 3, 2024

We humans are funny creatures: we think and feel, we become inspired, and we understand; yet somehow those experiences rarely align. We think one way and feel another. Understanding the true source of humanity makes it all click.

With Rabbi Ari Sollish

Public discourse has been poisoned, with debate almost always devolving into nasty bickering with no winners. An in-depth analysis of the Torah commentator Rashi’s silence on a verse offers a key to arguing effectively, with peaceful outcomes.

With Rabbi Ari Sollish

In our third lesson, “The Healthcare Debate,” we explore the topic of healthcare from a unique and empowering Jewish perspective. Whose responsibility is our health care? Does a society have the right to require its members to buy health insurance? What is the role of our own free choice in solving health care problems? And is health care insurance a contradiction to trust in G‐d?

We'll study fascinating Biblical, Talmudic, and Halachic texts, and come away with a solid understanding of the important principles that drive Torah's view of healthcare.

Negative Newsfeeds: Not the New Normal
A Handy Hack to Living a More Positive Reality
With Rabbi Ari Sollish
Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Tuesday, September 17, 2024

Habituation can be a nasty thing; living a certain reality for too long normalizes it, no matter how inherently crazy it is. But a Talmudic comment about the nature of exile reveals it wasn’t meant to be this way—and empowers us to remain uncomfortable with, and challenge, aberrations.

Lesson 4: Abortion
With Rabbi Ari Sollish
Recorded Live at The Torah Center ATL on Monday, September 16, 2024

Election season is in full swing and the biggest issues facing our country are front and center. In this new series we cut through the politics to examine five critical issues through the lens of Torah wisdom.

In our third lesson, “Abortion,” we explore the topic of abortion from a uniquely Jewish perspective. 

When does life begin? Is a fetus considered to be “alive”? Under what circumstances should abortion be permitted? When might it be deemed obligatory? 

Through studying classic Talmudic and Halachic texts we will develop a profound framework of understanding the origins of life, and be better equipped to address some of the most difficult questions.
