The Strength to Surrender
Why Letting Go Is the Ultimate Power
Recorded Live at The Torah Center ATL on Tuesday, July 8, 2025

Strength is often seen as control, but Judaism defines it as surrendering to something greater. Balaam’s prophecy likens the Jewish people to unshakable mountains, rooted in ancestral strength. This class explores why true power lies in self-sacrifice and choosing holiness over convenience.

Kabbalah Café
All for the Sake of Heaven - Part 2
The Peace Process
With Rabbi Ari Sollish
Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, July 13, 2025

The need for peace in our world is undeniable. We witness conflicts between nations, discord between communities, and tensions even between neighbors. Yet the most essential and often overlooked need for peace lies not on the global stage, but within the individual.

Each of us is a composite of opposing forces. The intellect aspires, the emotions surge, the soul seeks transcendence, while the ego clings to comfort and familiarity. We inhabit the space between these competing impulses, often feeling fragmented, unsettled, or internally conflicted.

This inner dissonance is not merely psychological -- it is spiritual. And it calls for resolution.

In this session of Kabbalah Café we explore the mystical understanding of inner peace as taught in Kabbalah: not as the absence of conflict, but as the harmonious integration of divergent energies.

The Prophecy on Your Passport
With Rabbi Ari Sollish
Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, July 30, 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.
