From Nightclubs to The Kotel: Rabbi Dov Ber Cohen on Mindfulness, Pain, and Finding Purpose

What does it take to move from the chaos of late-night clubs and DJ booths to a life of Torah, meditation, and deep inner peace? In this inspiring conversation, Rabbi Dov Ber Cohen shares his remarkable journey—from England’s underground music scene to years of wandering Asia in search of meaning, before finding his true home in Israel. Rabbi Dov Ber opens up about the transformative power of meditation and martial arts, his encounters with humility and gratitude in East Asia, and how Judaism reframed everything he had learned about mindfulness and purpose. Together, we explore powerful questions: How do we face inner darkness without fear? What role does pain play in our growth? How do we cultivate kindness toward ourselves and others? This episode goes beyond inspiration; it’s a guide to living more fully. Whether you’re seeking inner calm, healing from struggle, or looking to deepen your spiritual journey, you’ll walk away with insights that are both practical and profound.
