Learning How to Love - Part 11
"How to Feel"
With Rabbi Ari Sollish
(Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on February 2, 2020)
Life can be consuming, given all of our work and responsibilities. We might be forgiven, then, for believing that we simply don't have the time or energy to genuinely care about what's going on with another person.
But the mitzvah to "love your fellow as yourself" means that we are called upon to feel -- really and truly feel -- for another. In its truest and most radical sense the mitzvah to love means to celebrate with another's joy and to empathize with their sorrows.
Yes, it's a tall order -- but that's precisely why the Torah instructs us (and thereby empowers us) to do it.
In this Super Sunday edition of Kabbalah & Coffee we explore the mystical mechanics of love and empathy and discover how to truly connect with others in a meaningful and powerful way. The lesson we learn will be transformative.
