Overcoming Folly - Part 35
"Giving Up"
With Rabbi Ari Sollish
(Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on October 3, 2021)

2500 years ago an incredibly dramatic episode took place. The scene was Babylonia, where the Jewish people had been exiled following the destruction of the First Temple. The prophet at the time was Ezekiel. The people were going through a tremendously difficult time, their national and spiritual identity having been ripped away from them.

It was at that time, as recorded in the Book of Ezekiel, that the people decided to give up. They wanted to hand in their Judaism, to relinquish their faith, to be like all the other nations. The Jewish experiment, they believed, was over.

Ezekiel's response sends chills up the spines of all who hear it. And it holds a powerful message for us today.

In this very special session of Kabbalah & Coffee, we turn back the pages of Jewish history to discover a time not so different from ours, when our people questioned their identity... and received a reminder for the ages.
