    Kabbalah Café: Creation & Redemption - 7 - How Far Is It to Heaven? | Rabbi Ari Sollish

    Kabbalah Café Creation & Redemption - Part 76 How Far Is It to Heaven? With Rabbi Ari Sollish Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, May 3 ,2026. The universe is vast. Which prompted the ancient sages to wonder: how far is it to heaven? The Talmud gives an answer, declaring it a journey of 500 years. But what kind of distance is that? Is heaven a place we can actually reach? Fortunate for us, the mystics provide some much-needed context. It's not so much a journey as it is a construct. The universe, as vast as it is, is defined and limited. And that heightens the mystery, the impossibility, of creation itself. In this session of Kabbalah Café we hitch our wagons to the mystics and explore the hidden architecture of the cosmos, in a galaxy far, far away.

    Kabbalah Café Creation & Redemption - Part 6 When the One Becomes Many With Rabbi Ari Sollish Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, April 26th ,2026. If everything is, at its core, undivided Divine energy, where does difference begin? Where do edges form in a reality flooded with infinite light? What makes one thing this, and not that? Kabbalah answers: through the secret of the Divine Names. The Infinite itself is beyond all names, beyond all definition. But the names revealed in Torah are not labels; they are channels, vessels, frequencies through which the boundless light constricts, refracts, and becomes knowable. Every name is a doorway. Every name is a way the One becomes many, without ever ceasing to be One. In this session of Kabbalah Café we explore the Divine Names and begin to trace the hidden architecture of reality itself.

    Kabbalah Café Creation & Redemption - Part 5 Cracking the Code With Rabbi Ari Sollish Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, April 19th ,2026. There is a code that powers all of existence, a kind of Divine DNA. This code forms the fabric of reality. And it is composed of letters.

    Kabbalah Café Creation & Redemption - Part 4 Understand Your Feelings With Rabbi Ari Sollish Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, April 12th ,2026. Emotions are big. In Kabbalah, they are likened to mountains: broad, tall, and sweeping. They have ups and downs, and they ebb and flow. Sometimes, they can feel out of control. But another truth about emotions is that they can be really hard to understand. We might feel something strongly, but be unable to identify it precisely or discern its origin. Kabbalah gives us the tools to understand our feelings. By mapping the human soul, Jewish mysticism provides the language to name our emotions, recognize their source, and exercise greater self-control. In this session of Kabbalah Café we explore the soul of feelings and the power of self-mastery.

The Kabbalists offer a surprising answer: letters. Kabbalah teaches that creation unfolds through Divine speech, a living language that continuously brings the world into being. Like code that powers a system, these letters form the inner mechanism of reality. This points to both the beauty and fragility of life. Change the code, and reality changes.

    Kabbalah Café Creation & Redemption - Part 2 The Nature Of a Miracle With Rabbi Ari Sollish Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, March 15th,2026. What is the greater expression of G-d’s power: creating the laws of nature, or breaking them? We tend to think of miracles as the ultimate display of the Divine: a dramatic suspension of reality, a flash of infinity tearing through the fabric of the world. A reminder that G-d stands beyond nature and can overturn it at will. But Kabbalah dares to ask a deeper question. What if the true wonder is not when the rules are broken, but when they hold? What if the consistent order of nature is itself the greater miracle? What if the real display of Divine power is not chaos, but harmony? In this session of Kabbalah Café we explore the hidden architecture of creation and discover the astonishing power concealed within the ordinary.

    Kabbalah Café: Creation & Redemption - 1 - A New World | Rabbi Ari Sollish

    Kabbalah Café Creation & Redemption - Part 1 A New World With Rabbi Ari Sollish Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, March 8th,2026. There are times when life feels entirely ordinary. We wake up, go to work, handle responsibilities, and move through the routines of the day. The world feels fixed, predictable, bound by the rules of nature. And yet, every so often, something breaks through. A moment of clarity. A flash of purpose. A sense that beneath the surface of our everyday lives lies something deeper, something transcendent. Which is the real world: the ordinary or the extraordinary? Our new Kabbalah Café series -- Creation & Redemption -- explores this very question through a powerful mystical text authored in 1940 by Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, shortly after his dramatic rescue from war-torn Europe. At that moment, Judaism stood at a crossroads. The old world was collapsing, and in America many believed that Jewish life would inevitably have to change. “America is different,” people said. In this remarkable discourse, the Rebbe offers a bold spiritual vision: the natural and the supernatural are not opposites. The deeper purpose of creation is that the ordinary world itself can reveal the Divine. Creation and redemption are not just historical ideas. They are forces alive within each of us.

    Kabbalah Café All for the Sake of Heaven - Part 27 Three Paths to Peace With Rabbi Ari Sollish Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, February 15th,2026. Conflict feels stitched into the human story. History unfolds in waves of war, rivalry, and resentment, as if tension were the pulse beneath our collective heartbeat. Division can seem so constant that we mistake it for destiny. Yet the Jewish mystics insist that beneath the noise lies a deeper music. What we call conflict is often the friction of a hidden unity pressing to be revealed. Separation is a surface illusion; at our core there is oneness. Peace, then, is not wishful thinking. It is sacred perception and practice, learning to see the Divine within ourselves and within those we resist, and living in a way that protects that awareness. In this session of Kabbalah Café we study Kabbalistic teachings on tension and resolution and uncover three tools to transform war into peace.

    Kabbalah Café All for the Sake of Heaven - Part 26 Fire & Water With Rabbi Ari Sollish Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, February 8th,2026. Our lives move in rhythms that pull us in opposite directions. There are moments of burning passion and restless ascent, and moments of quiet satisfaction and stillness. Times when the soul longs to climb higher, and times when it knows to pause, breathe, and take in what has already been achieved. Kabbalah names these two movements fire and water. Fire rises, driven by holy dissatisfaction and yearning for more. Water flows downward, calm and settled, at peace with what is. We are meant to live both: to strive and to return, to reach upward and to settle inward. In this session of Kabbalah Café we explore the soul of fire and water, and discover how to consciously activate both energies in our spiritual lives.

    Kabbalah Café All for the Sake of Heaven - Part 25 Beyond the Matrix With Rabbi Ari Sollish Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, February 1st,2026. Most of us live inside the matrix. We operate within time and space, within the limits of nature, and within the constraints of physical reality. We learn how to adapt, how to function, and how to survive by working within the rules of the world as it appears to us. But Kabbalah teaches that there are people who live beyond the matrix. They are not removed from reality, but connected to a deeper one. They move through this world while drawing from a higher source, relying on the supernatural as naturally as others rely on gravity. OIn this session of Kabbalah Café we explore what it means to live beyond the matrix -- and how each of us can step outside it, even if only for moments at a time.

    Kabbalah Café: All for the Sake of Heaven - 24 - Shabbat Food | Rabbi Ari Sollish

    Kabbalah Café All for the Sake of Heaven - Part 24 Shabbat Food With Rabbi Ari Sollish Recorded live at The Torah Center ATL on Sunday, January 25th,2026. When you think of Shabbat food what comes to mind? Maybe fresh challah, gefilte fish, matzah ball soup, brisket, and potato kugel (if you're Ashkenazi). But according to Jewish mysticism, the real story isn’t just what we eat on Shabbat -- it’s what changes. On Shabbat, all of reality is more spiritually aligned. The world itself is elevated. And because food is part of that world, what we eat on Shabbat is fundamentally different from what we eat during the week. It might be the same ingredients, but it's on a different level. In this session of Kabbalah Café we explore Shabbat’s weekly upgrade, and how to consciously tap into the energy that’s on our table.
