About Mendel Weinberger

I have been involved in mindfulness practice for over 20 years. I first learned meditation in 1980 at the Zen Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  After a year of intense practice, I left to pursue my interest in Judaism.  This led me to learn in yeshiva in Israel for over ten years.  I learned Talmud with the late Rabbi Aryeh Carmel za’l and Chassidus in the yeshiva of Rav Yitzchak Ginsburgh.

In 1997, I returned to the practice of mindfulness with the foundation of the Torah to guide me.  I studied Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan’s books on meditation and trained in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction created by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn.  I learned with Professor Ron Siegel in how to use mindfulness in treating psychological stress.  In addition, I am a certified addictions counselor and Life Coach and use mindfulness as a treatment modality for those on the road to recovery.

I have been teaching Jewish mindfulness to groups and individuals since 2015 and have seen men change their lives as a result of this practice.

I have recently completed certification as a life coach from the Jerusalem Coaching Institute and am now accepting clients who want to work on specific goals related to health, improving relationships, and career change.  To learn more about this see my new coaching website at https://kavanacoaching.com/

I live in the Baka neighborhood in Jerusalem.
