Rabbi Avraham Kovel is a passionate entrepreneur, Torah learner, and personal growth fanatic with a unique journey back to his Jewish roots. After growing up as a non-religious Jew in New Haven, CT and graduating from Emory University, Avraham's spiritual quest led him through Eastern philosophies and meditative practices, culminating in a transformative return to Judaism. His diverse experiences include studying abroad in India, meeting the Dalai Lama, and creating Playout: The Exercise Card Game, which has impacted physical education in over 3,500 schools. Avraham's journey from a successful business venture to intensive Torah study in Jerusalem showcases his commitment to personal growth and spiritual exploration. Now, with over seven years of learning under renowned rabbis such as Rabbi Yitzchak Berkovits, Rabbi Ahron Lopiansky, Rabbi Beryl Gershenfeld, and Rabbi Lawrence Kelemen, as well as rabbinic ordination from the Jerusalem Kollel, Avraham brings a fresh perspective to Jewish teachings, blending modern sensibilities with traditional wisdom. Through his writing, he aims to inspire young Jews to discover the depth and relevance of their heritage in today's world. You can subscribe to his weekly blog at https://avrahamkovel.substack.com/
