Knowledge On The Deeper Side

Overcoming Folly - Part 32 "The Soul of Trauma" With Rabbi Ari Sollish (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on September 12, 2021) Jewish history is complicated. There have been plenty of good times, but there have been plenty of challenging times too. The trials and tribulations of our history have done much to influence our thinking and sometimes even overshadow the good in our perception. Clearly, there's a fair share of Jewish trauma. Yet -- and here's a pretty big idea -- the mystics explain that this trauma comes with a blessing. Inherent in Jewish challenge is its very opposite, the antidote to pain and suffering and the factor that brings the greatest joy and serenity. In fact, it's by tapping into the "Soul of Trauma" that we neutralize it and release its effect. In this special High Holiday 5782 edition of Kabbalah & Coffee, we take a walk on the deeper side and discover the roots and soul of Jewish trauma.
