Overcoming Folly - Part 57 "Daily Spiritual Energy" With Rabbi Ari Sollish (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on April 10, 2022) Life can sometimes seem like one endless stretch of time, with one day blending and blurring into the next. The different days of the week can come to feel like random markers in time, devoid of any meaningful substance or significance. But not in the Jewish mystical tradition. In Jewish mystical thought, each day is understood to have its own energy and vitality. The seven days of the week are not just seven iterations of the identical thing.

Lesson 6 - The Kinds of Kindness With Mrs. Leah Sollish (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on April 4, 2022) Sure it’s nice to be nice, but sometimes you need specifics. Rather than relying on vague ethical pronouncements, the Torah gets into the nitty-gritty and ensures that we express our love in the concrete, with commandments like giving charity, hosting guests in the home, comforting the bereaved, and returning lost property.
