Israeli statesman Dr. Michael Oren (born in 1955) served as Israel’s Ambassador to the United States between 2009 and 2013. He holds a Ph.D. in History from Princeton University.

Oren has authored best-selling books, articles and papers on the history of the Middle East. He served as a Distinguished Fellow at the Shalem Center in Jerusalem, a contributing editor for The New Republic and an analyst of Middle East Affairs for CNN.

Born in New Jersey, USA, Oren first arrived in Israel when he was 15 years old, landing in Kibbutz Gan Shmuel. Ever since, during his high school years, he would return every summer to perform agricultural work on various kibbutzim. He completed his BA and MA at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs in 1978. In 1986 he earned an MA and a Ph.D. in Near Eastern Studies from Princeton University. He also taught at Harvard University and Yale University as a visiting professor.

Oren immigrated to Israel in 1979. He enlisted in the IDF as a lone soldier and served as a combat soldier in the Paratroopers Brigade, including during the first Lebanon War, during which his unit was ambushed by Syrian soldiers. Oren’s unit sustained numerous casualties in the incident.

At the beginning of the 1980s, Oren was sent by the government to the USSR to help with the Zionist underground activities. During the Rabin government, he worked in the Ministry of Religious Affairs, in the Department of Inter-religious Relationships. During the Gulf War, he served as liaison officer for Israel with the US Sixth Fleet. Oren also served as Maj. (Res) during the Second Lebanon War in 2006. During Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip, he enlisted again for reserve duty and explained the IDF’s actions to the foreign media.

Oren has been an Israeli citizen since 1979, and with his appointment as Israeli ambassador to the United States in 2009, he waived his American citizenship. I

Rabbi David Aaron is a spiritual teacher who has invested over 3 decades delving into life's BIGGEST question marks and sharing his life-changing wisdom and insights to adults and young adults.

What's UNIQUE about what Rabbi Aaron does In today's glutted market of new age spirituality/self-help/self-fulfillment and spiritual leaders/gurus, there's a myriad of religions, sects and pathways on the shelf. BUT, the majority of the world has absolutely no idea what Torah IS, even though it possesses the most universally-embraceable spiritual content on the planet. NO ONE is disseminating Torah's universal message. And NO ONE is communicating it in a way that can connect to the spirituality-seeking 21st century. Rabbi Aaron's vision is to create a new worldwide spiritual awareness based on Torah secrets. The 'north star' is 'world transformation thru global God consciousness.' Why...

Rabbi David Aaron is a spiritual visionary and master educator who has invested over 4 decades delving into life’s biggest question marks and sharing Torah’s transformational wisdom to adults and young adults. He has emerged as the ‘spirituality expert’ simply because he has dared to ask and answer the most difficult questions that all people have and/or struggle with about God’s existence and their own. 

Disarmed by Rabbi Aaron’s exhilarating undeniable clarity, we dare to look at our deepest assumptions, doubts and fears and challenge our paradigms of belief. Amazingly, we discover that our changing view of God and ourselves gives us access to reserves of personal power we never experienced before. 

He is the author of eight ‘paradigm-shifting’ books: The Secret Life of God, Living A Joyous Life, Seeing God, Love is My Religion, Soul Powered Prayers, Inviting God In, The God Powered Life and Endless Light. 
Rabbi Berel Wein: “Living a Joyous Life is not about Judaism, it IS Judaism itself.” 

Rabbi Joseph Telushkin: “Rabbi David Aaron offers insight after insight on the most basic issues of human existence, insights that are life-transforming.”
Kirk Douglas: Studying with David Aaron I never ceased to be impressed with his ability to entertain and inspire while bringing to life the beautiful ancient mysteries of the Torah.

SIDELIGHTS:

David Aaron is a rabbi who founded Isralight, an international organization that focuses on spiritual education. He is also an expert on the Kabbalah (or Kabbala), which is a set of mystical or esoteric beliefs and practices that supplement traditional Jewish interpretations of the Torah. Aaron is the author of several books that focus on the spiritual basics of life and explore the modern trend away from spirituality, as well as the author's belief that the spiritual path should be a part of everyday life. A biography of the author on his Web site noted: ‘Rabbi Aaron believes that the spiritual basics of life are the most profound and yet the most neglected in contemporary education. For the past eighteen years, he has dedicated himself to sharing the ancient wisdom of Torah and Jewish mysticism and inspiring others to embrace a joyous life-long process of personal transformation, empowerment and love."

In his first book, Endless Light: The Ancient Path of the Kabbalah to Love, Spiritual Growth, and Personal Power, the author draws from the Kabbalah to provide guidance on living a more
