Overcoming Folly - Part 23 "Revenge of the Dark Side" With Rabbi Ari Sollish (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on June 27, 2021) If something seems too good to be true -- it usually is. Sure you can cut the line, break the rules, play the con... but only for a time. At some point, the jig will be up. And when that happens, the house of cards you built will come tumbling down. Spiritually, too, we can play by the rules -- or try to outsmart the system. And while the latter might seem to be an attractive and effective option, it's not a sustainable model. In this edition of Kabbalah & Coffee, we look at the allure -- and danger -- of dancing with the dark side, and discover why revenge is darkness's only option.
