    Rabbi Mordecai Finley - How jiu-jitsu, marines, Kabbalah are all connected - Episode 92

    Rabbi Finley was born and raised in Southern California. After high school, he served three years in the U.S. Marine Corps and was discharged with the rank of Sergeant in 1976. He then spent a year in Israel on a kibbutz. After his stay in Israel, he attended the School of Religion at USC and completed his BA in 1980.

From there, he took a break from his rabbinic studies to work on his doctorate at the USC School of Religion. He received his rabbinical ordination in 1990 and his Ph. D. in 1992. 
    Rabbi Mordecai Finley is the rabbi and co-CEO of Ohr HaTorah Synagogue. He co-founded the synagogue with his wife Meirav Finley in 1993.
    Rabbi Finley has been a guest on some of my favorite podcasts, like the Aubrey Marcus podcast and the Rich Roll podcast. And today he's on this podcast. Rabbi Mordecai Finlay is here with us today. We talk about his practice of jiu-jitsu, which he is a blackbelt in, his work with author Steven Pressfield and his work in the human condition through teaching the Bible, mysticism, Kabbalah, and spirituality.

    Jordan Candlish is a former semi-pro athlete, speaker, and performance coach. He is the founder of State Shifters, a brand dedicated to helping people unify mind, body, and soul so they live lives of meaning and purpose. Jordan left his corporate Corporate Accounting Job in 2017, to move to Toronto Canada to work as a meditation teacher, corporate mindfulness consultant, and trainer guiding busy overachievers out of their heads and back into their hearts. Jordan now works with teams and individuals who are ready to go to the next level of performance & become purpose-driven through the use of deep embodiment work, and high-performance coaching.
    I by far, like, been amazed and my mouth drops to the floor every time I see one of Jordan's videos. They are super creative, his hustle is real, and it seems like he's putting on multiple videos a day. It's true social media hustle!
    Now, this podcast is not about that, but more about the content and messages that Jordan shares with the world. These are messages about being a healthy man in today's age, living with integrity, showing up to life, and showing up to challenges lots of great nuggets in this one. From psychology, the human condition, and men's work. So I hope you enjoy this podcast episode with Jordan and English.

Hey Meir

Really enjoy listening in and the way you smoothly carry through a wonderful and interesting conversation.

If you’re able to, I would really appreciate as I’m sure others would also, if you would be able to get Yossi Green for an episode. Especially being that there are close to zero podcasts with him anywhere. Thank you very much for this amazing podcast and keep up the great stuff!
