About Rabbi Dov Ber Cohen

I grew up in London and studied Philosophy at Manchester University. I then lived in Asia for six years, studying and practicing Eastern paths to self-actualisation and purpose, including silent meditation retreats, intensive yoga courses, fasting, and extreme martial arts.

I loved, and still deeply respect and appreciate, many of the philosophies and practices I came into contact with. They contain beautiful teachings and uplifting practices.

But there was one question that kept coming up for me: How do you know you're right? How do you know this is true?

Eventually, my search brought me to Israel, where I encountered the sweetness, depth, and profound insight of Torah in a way I never knew existed.

I arrived in Israel at the age of 29, walked the length of the country in 40 days, and began connecting deeply to Judaism, Torah, and the wisdom of the Jewish sages.

Since then, I have tried to align myself consciously and joyfully with the guidance of Torah, and to use everything I have learned and experienced to help others live more conscious, meaningful, joyful, moral, non-judgmental, and beautiful lives.

Baruch Hashem, I spent several years learning in yeshiva, received smicha, and have had the privilege of teaching Jews from many different backgrounds, in Israel, online, on retreats, on trips, and in communities around the world.

I have also written several books:

• Mastering Life, A Unique Guidebook to Jewish Enlightenment
• The Enlightened Jewish Master, An amended version of Mastering Life, written to speak more directly to Jews of all backgrounds.
• The Essential Teachings, Universal Wisdom for Creating a Great Life
• Simple, A Practical Guide to Conscious, Joyful, Jewish Mindfulness

I am incredibly passionate about living, and helping others live, the greatest life possible.

Baruch Hashem, I live in Jerusalem with my holy family.

I hope to be high impact, low profile.

That's it. Let's live beautiful lives.
