Overcoming Folly - Part 18
"Happy Pigs"
With Rabbi Ari Sollish
(Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on May 24, 2021)

The Talmud says something super fascinating: "There is nothing richer than the swine." Apparently, the Talmudic sages deemed pigs to be wealthy (and happy). But why exactly?

The Kabbalists provide an incredible explanation. Understanding the swine's riches necessitates a broader understanding of the mechanics of the universe, the difference between holiness and unholiness, and the nature of light and shadow.

These are exactly the topics we explore in this Kabbalah & Coffee. We see how the dualistic nature of reality leads to a state where swines swoon with joy -- and holiness harbors quiet longing.
