Being Jewish Right Now is Hard. Don't Do It Alone
We have to walk together to make it through this time.
As a 3rd Generation of Holocaust Survivors, Israeli-Born, American Jew, I deeply feel the pain of being Jewish Today
Some conversation are hard to have with Non-Jews, but others are hard to have even with other Jews.
We struggle to define ourselves with Religion when we're often secular. We struggle to define ourselves in relation to Israel within so much controversy.
What is it to be Jewish today? How can we meet the demands of life and feel more whole, more grounded, more resilient?
A licensed therapist's approach to connecting deeper with Jewish identity during challenging times
Since October 7th, every Jewish person has been impacted by current events and how Israel is discussed in media and communities. Many are feeling isolated even among friends and families. Some are seeking to connect more deeply with Jewish spirituality and find meaningful ways to integrate traditions into daily life and pass them on to their children.
The Resilient Jewish Path is a place for Jewish Belonging that brings together a unique community that combines evidence-based psychotherapy practices with Jewish mysticism, Kabbalah, and mindfulness research. Led by Jonathan Kaplan, a licensed professional counselor with over 15 years of experience, this program offers ongoing content designed to deepen spirituality, reduce anxiety and stress, improve resilience, and strengthen family and community connections.
This approach recognizes that spirituality is a lifelong practice requiring continuous engagement and provides a touchstone for navigating current challenges while maintaining strong Jewish identity and community support.
At The Resilient Jewish Path, we integrate timeless Jewish teachings with contemporary therapeutic methods to support your journey towards spiritual wellness and inner resilience. Founded by Jonathan Kaplan, whose connection to Jewish wisdom started in early childhood and deepened through decades of study, our platform offers a unique blend of resources that honor both ancient tradition and modern psychological understanding.
Our mission is to provide busy Jewish professionals and families with practical tools rooted in the rich tapestry of Jewish contemplative practices. Drawing from over twenty years of therapeutic experience and a Master's in Mindfulness-Informed & Transpersonal Counseling, we believe in the power of returning to our own tradition's wisdom while embracing evidence-based approaches to stress relief and personal growth.
This platform reflects a commitment to making Jewish spiritual wellness accessible and relevant to all community members, regardless of observance level or background. We understand the unique challenges of modern Jewish life—from navigating current events that affect our community to balancing career demands with spiritual yearning—and offer resources that speak directly to these experiences with both therapeutic insight and authentic Jewish grounding.

You may be wondering who I am and why I'm qualified to guide this work. I'm a therapist who integrates modern clinical practice with Jewish wisdom to help people build resilience. The goal isn't to promise a specific outcome, but to offer a clear, transformative process. Here’s what others have to say about the journey we’ve taken together.
Jonathan's is very empathic and he helps you crystallize your thinking, see the path to your goal clearly, and maintain the strength of will to arrive there.
I've seen 30 therapists in my life, and I've trusted 4 of them. This guy's one of them. That's why I recommend him to all my friends and family
From the very first session, I felt immediate relief and joy. I was amazed by Jonathan’s direct approach and thrilled to experience positive changes happening so quickly.
Jonathan helped us turn what we intellectually understood into a real, tangible connection. Now, the changes have become part of our everyday life, sometimes happening automatically.
Jonathan combines coaching with very deep therapeutic work... I've experienced him using it for deep healing, and the effects have been quite magical and surprising.
As someone deeply involved in personal growth for 14 years, what I experienced with Jonathan was unlike anything before. I was finally able to experience what I'd only known intellectually—and what others just talked about.
I wish everyone could work with and learn from Jonathan. I share what I've learned with other people, and they get huge benefit even from me. I wish they could work with him too.
