who are we and what are we about ?
GetKAVANAHLIFE.com was conceived as a lifestyle enhancement platform...by providing inspirational programs as a means of inspiration to achieve more mindful, more kavanah filled, more inspired Jewish lives. As our name suggests, we name to bring Kavanah consciousness into all aspects of life, and particularly into spiritual life.
We recently launched KavanahLife SINGLES to help Jewish singles develop more mindful & meaningful relationships.
The beauty & depth of everyday life, Shabbat, the Jewish holidays, & Jewish rituals all contain deeper meanings which at times get lost. Through a variety of live participatory events, GetKAVANAHLIFE.com aims to unlock the Jewish treasure box of deeper meanings behind Jewish prayer, ritual....and simply being Jewish. While our live events are mainly based in South Florida, our approach to Jewish Prayer & Ritual have been highlighted at Shabbatons, lectures and musical programs across the United States.
Our programs include a seasonal synagogue in Miami Beach, numerous events in South Florida including Kabbalistic Tu B'Shvat Seders, Carlebach Pre-Selichot Services & a popular High Holiday Retreat in Miami Beach.
GetKAVANAHLIFE.com is the brainchild of Rabbi Sam Intrator, or Rabbi Sam as he is known among those who come from all over to attend his teachings, Jewish holiday events, weddings and Shabbat programs. The son of Holocaust survivors, and a modern orthodox rabbi, he is a firm believer in Jewish unity : uniting the heart, mind, and soul of Judaism together with Jews from all levels of observance or no observance at all and infusing it with kavanah for it to touch the soul. While understanding the vast differences found in Judaism today, Rabbi Sam aims to focus on our unifying Jewish roots, the commonality which unites us as a people.
An animated rabbi...., he tries to get the message out there in a progressive and humanistic way.
