“‘Our fireside chat with Daniel Bortz, the Millennial Rabbi, was truly inspiring. His presence brought warmth, curiosity, and authenticity, reminding us that spirituality can be both deeply rooted in tradition and fully relevant in today’s world. As founder of Soul X, he has a rare ability to bridge generations, blending ancient wisdom with contemporary culture. He speaks about music, mindfulness, and purpose with clarity and depth, connecting naturally with audiences across backgrounds and beliefs. His style is dynamic yet grounded, weaving storytelling, insight, and humor in a way that engages both the mind and the heart.
What made this conversation especially powerful was his skill as a communicator and teacher. His reflections on faith, mental health, and community were both insightful and practical, illustrating how spirituality can coexist with modern innovation and help us navigate the challenges of everyday life. He shared his vision for using platforms like Spotify and Instagram to foster positivity, strengthen community, and reimagine tradition for a new generation. His approach to faith is not abstract—it is accessible, relevant, and deeply human. Those who attend his talks walk away with tools for mindfulness, self-awareness, and authentic connection.
The discussion was uplifting and thought-provoking, leaving attendees with a renewed sense of meaning and belonging. Rabbi Bortz’s ability to communicate timeless values through a modern lens makes him an exceptional speaker and a valuable voice for any community or organization seeking to inspire reflection, inclusivity, and balance. This inspiring event marks the beginning of many more conversations at the intersection of technology, mindfulness, and community. A deep thank you to Rabbi Daniel Bortz for bringing this meaningful exchange to life.’ ”
“I recently had the privilege of working with Rabbi Daniel whose message truly resonated with our community. He guided us through mini-breakout sessions and meditative exercises that highlighted how tradition and mindfulness can support emotional well-being and intentionally slowing down especially in our fast-paced, modern world.
What stood out most was the Rabbi’s use of modern platforms like Instagram to spread positivity and foster genuine connection. By leveraging these tools, the event demonstrated how technology can amplify spiritual growth and help build inclusive, supportive communities and was a powerful reminder of the importance of integrating ancient wisdom with contemporary tools to nurture our minds and spirits.
The group left feeling more grounded, connected, and grateful for the opportunity to be part of an intentional event.”
Workshops focus on personal growth, spiritual awareness, finding light & resilience in the challenges of life, discovering the meaning and beauty in your life’s journey.
“Rabbi Bortz is an engaging and dynamic speaker, who skillfully integrates deep knowledge of his tradition with relatable, down-to-earth stories. My undergraduate students taking World Religions absolutely loved his guest lecture on our campus! ”
“Rabbi Bortz led a meaningful Shabbat service at Cabinet Calm, a fitness and meditation retreat for National Young Leadership Cabinet, the premier leadership development program of the Jewish Federations of North America. Daniel seamlessly integrated meditation into a traditional Friday evening Kabalat Shabbat. He provided meaning and relevance so necessary in our current distracted world.””
““I had an incredible, healing evening with the Millennial Rabbi and a great group of people. We tapped into our higher selves and discussed so many things including our sense of self, loneliness, love, partnership, marriage, how to be better spouses, our Jewish values and how to be more aware. I feel that I walked away with a higher vibration than when I walked in. I needed a reminder. Thank you.””
Experiences that engage & elevate the senses
““Daniel’s immersive Shabbat experience brings to life the specific rituals of shabbat with a sense of soulfulness that enables one to truly end the week with intention. Daniel’s thought provoking discussions centering around connectivity-—with one another and our surroundings— fuels self-reflection and renewal, as he reminds you why it’s so important to slowdown and be present once a week, on Shabbat.””
