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.
Rabbi Dr. Adam Fogel is a graduate of the Pluralistic Rabbinical Seminary, an ordained Zen Buddhist priest, and completed training as a Jewish Mindfulness Meditation Teacher through the Institute for Jewish Spirituality in 2017. He has practiced Zen meditation since 1996 and has practiced with Father Greg Mayers Roshi and Ruben Habito Roshi in the Sanbo Zen tradition. Currently, Adam studies with Gambo Kyogan Berry Crawford Roshi with Simplicity Zen, with whom he ordained as a novice Zen Buddhist priest in 2025.
In his other professional world, Adam is a Psychologist and Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice.
Adam is deeply informed by the Jewish Renewal, Jewish Mindfulness, and Zen Buddhist traditions. He 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 dedicated to helping you nurture and experience a deep, personal spirituality and create a contemplative, meaningful Judaism!
