Rabbi Amichai Cohen

Founder & Teacher

I have spent my entire adult life in education, and it has been the greatest privilege of my life.

I come from a lineage of teachers and spiritual seekers. On my Moroccan side, I am a descendant of the Kabbalist Rabbi Avraham Azulai. On my mother's side, my grandfather Hermann Gans dedicated over 70 years of his life to education. Growing up between the US and Israel taught me to understand different types of people, different ways of thinking, and different ways of opening up to wisdom.

With a Master's degree in Special Education, I co-founded an alternative school in Crown Heights, Brooklyn that grew into a major institution. I helped establish a special education school in Boca Raton, Florida, and led departments at Kesher in North Miami. I studied Kabbalah under my mentor, Rabbi Moshe Weinberger, learned from the Chassidic scholar Rabbi Yoel Kahn, and received semicha from the Israel Beit Din. I have facilitated over 10,000 Birthright Israel participants and taught tens of thousands of students worldwide.

Through all of this, I have learned something essential: teaching is not about information. It is about bringing out the light that already lives inside a person. It is about creating a space where transformation is possible.

The Lamplighter Practitioner Training exists because I believe the world needs more people who can do this. More people who can hold space, facilitate deep learning, build curriculum that opens hearts and minds, and share wisdom with skill, warmth, and authenticity. This program draws on everything I have learned in decades of education, from special ed classrooms to international stages.

If you have felt the calling to teach, to lead, to bring light into your world, this is where that calling finds its form. I would be honored to walk that path with you.

Miriam Cohen

Co-Teacher & Integrative Therapist

Miriam brings a warm, grounded presence to everything she teaches. With a background in occupational therapy and integrative life coaching, she has spent years helping people reconnect with the wisdom of their own bodies and emotions. Her approach is rooted in a simple belief: that real transformation happens not only through intellectual understanding, but through felt experience. She creates spaces where students feel safe enough to do the deep inner work that lasting change requires.
Miriam is the creator of some of LIVE Kabbalah's most beloved courses, including "Healing Through the Sefirot" and "The Sefirot in Action."

In these programs, she guides students through each of the ten Sefirot as a practical framework for emotional release, relational healing, and personal alignment.

Her coaching program "Own Your Light" has helped students around the world move through patterns of self-doubt, burnout, and disconnection, and step into a more grounded, purposeful way of living.

What makes Miriam's work distinctive is the way she weaves somatic awareness, emotional intelligence, and Kabbalistic intention into a single, unified practice. She draws from the same ancient sources that inform all of LIVE Kabbalah's teachings, but she brings them to life through the body, through breath, and through the real texture of everyday relationships.

Miriam meets each person exactly where they are, with compassion, clarity, and a deep faith in their capacity to grow.
