About Mindful Judaism

The mission of Mindful Judaism is to help you explore and discover an authentic, meaningful relationship with the Divine through engaging and cultivating a contemplative, experiential Judaism and enhancing your love and compassion for yourself and others. Mindful Judaism was founded and is directed by Rabbi Adam Fogel PhD.

He has practiced Zen meditation since 1996 and is a senior Zen student of Ruben Habito Roshi in the Sanbo Zen tradition. Adam is deeply informed by the Jewish Renewal and Jewish Mindfulness traditions.

In his other professional world, Adam is a Psychologist and Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice.

Adam greatly respects the unique path that each person must take to nurture their spiritual life and connection with something meaningful and profound and is especially interested in the interface of Zen wisdom, meditation, and contemplative Judaism.

Mindful Judaism is the practice of noticing and experiencing the Divine in all places and experience, no matter how strange, unexpected, or unwelcome. Experiencing Just What Is can be both terribly challenging and wonderfully mysterious and inspiring.

Each of us brings an important question to meditation practice and spiritual life. This question is unique and different for everyone.

The most important question is not why someone out there should practice Jewish meditation. The most important question is what urges you to meditation and spiritual practice?

If you are interested in exploring and discovering an authentic and profound relationship with the Divine and your greatest potential, you are not alone!

Send us a message! We would love to hear from you!

Contact us if you have questions, comments or just plain want to talk!

Feel free to send us an email at adam@mindfuljudaism.com and let us know how we may help you.
