Over the last few years, Rabbi Aaron has been traveling the world, giving these classes, some based on his best-selling books, and some completely new material. Either way, they are all designed to give guidance, clarity, and inspiration to grow.
Finding Your Purpose (2005)
Why do we intuit that life has a purpose? How do we find that purpose, and live it to our fullest? In this class, Rabbi Aaron gives us perspectives and practical tools for tuning into why we are here and how we can best serve the world in our unique way.
Life After Death: The Journey of a Mourner (2007)
Rabbi Aaron reflects on his mother’s recent passing, and the puzzling teaching in the Oral Tradition that death is referred to as “Very Good”. How is it possible that death could be positive? What is the true nature of this work and the next world? What really is death, anyway?
Living A Holy Life (Retreat 2005)
How do we bring harmony between our expectations and reality? How can we find happiness? Why is the goal of Jewish life not happiness?
Living A Joyous Life Interview (2007)
Before the release of his book ‘Living a Joyous Life: The True Spirit of Jewish Practice’, Rabbi Aaron sat down to an impromptu interview at his home in the Old City. Among other topics, Rabbi Aaron discusses the uniqueness of his new book, shares some personal thoughts and stories, and even reflects on his experiences teaching celebrities in Hollywood.
Me, Myself, & I
On a hot Jerusalem day, Rabbi Aaron gave this compact and powerful class here in the Old City to a group of Birthright young adults and Israeli soldiers. In the class, he reveals the Kabbalistic wisdom of personal identity and the immortality of the soul: Who am I? Why I am here? Is there life after death? How do I become the Me that know I can be?
Soul: The Owner’s Manual (2006)
This is Rabbi Aaron at his funniest, teaching a version of his well-loved ‘Me, Myself, and I’ class. Although the material here can be found in other classes, the uniqueness of the delivery, the clarity of his explanations, and the laughter of the audience makes this very much worth listening to. Enjoy.
The Meaning of Fulfillment (2005)
To live a purposeful life, we must fill ourselves with something. The question is: Are we full of things that truly fill us, or we still feeling empty? What is the path to true fulfillment? What are our real needs? In this short class, Rabbi Aaron answers these and more questions, to help us connect with the purpose in our own lives.
The Power of Kabbalah (2006)
Rabbi Aaron shares his life experiences of learning, teaching, and applying Kabbalah in his life with an energetic Birthright group. You will definitely be entertained, and certainly be inspired to seek meaning and growth in your life. It contains one of the best versions of the Kabbalist’s Apple story.
The Secret Life of G-d (2006)
In this class, Rabbi Aaron reveals to the world the Kabbalah’s revelation of the real secret: Why G-d needs us. Through a fantastical story in the Talmud, we learn about angels, the power of mitzvot, and how our imperfections and the imperfections of the world are the perfect vehicles to reveal G-d’s light, to bring the world to completion. Recorded live at the Boca Tov Café in Boca Raton, Florida, March 2006.
Tuning Into A Daily G-dcast (2007)
How can G-d be more ‘present’ in the Land of Israel, and specifically in Jerusalem, when really G-d is everywhere? In this class, Rabbi Aaron explains the Jewish view of the purpose of life, and how the building blocks of Jewish life attune us to relationship with our Creator. He also gives a Kabbalistic explanation of that unique feeling that we get when set foot on the Land of Israel.
