Kabbalah Café
All for the Sake of Heaven - Part 3
The Prophecy on Your Passport
With Rabbi Ari Sollish
Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, July 20, 2025

Is there still prophecy in the world?

According to Jewish mystics, the answer is yes, just not in the way you might expect. While the era of classical prophecy ended 2,500 years ago, a spark of it remains every time a parent names a child.

A name, Kabbalah teaches, isn’t just a label. It’s a spiritual channel, a bridge between soul and body, chosen not only by intuition or tradition but guided by something higher. Your name is the prophecy on your passport, the divine imprint that shapes your identity and purpose.

In this session of Kabbalah Café we explore the hidden power of names. Through biblical stories and mystical insight, we uncover how names carry destiny, identity, and divine truth.

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.
