THE FUTURE OF SELF-DEVELOPMENT IS ANCIENT
what is elevation?
Revealing one of the world’s most lucid, comprehensive and powerful systems for self-transformation and spiritual development.
The Elevation Project brings together Jews and seekers from all walks of life with a single goal: to explore the Torah’s definitive map of human psychology and consciousness on an experiential level. We’ve synthesized the most profound teachings of 4,000 years of wisdom from Kabbalah, Chassidus, Mussar and Talmud into a unified system that for the first time makes these high-level authentic spiritual teachings accessible to seekers of all backgrounds.

ELEVVTIN IS FOR EVERYONE
The Torah’s teachings on consciousness are universal. They transcend divisions and denominations, and speak to the heart of every one of us.
Elevation teachings require no previous Torah knowledge or belief. As they speak to the most essential aspects of human nature and the human experience, they transcend personal belief systems, and are equally powerful and empowering to all.
Since launching in 2012, we’ve taken Elevation seminars around the world: from Jerusalem to Johannesburg, from London to Los Angeles, and from New York City to Boro Park(!). We’ve connected with everyone from yeshiva veterans to San Francisco psychonauts, from the “ultra-orthodox” to the “ultra-secular.” Elevation teachings have been presented at such diverse locations as the Dalai Lama’s Mind & Life Institute in Massachusetts, the Wisdom 2.0 conference in Tel Aviv, and the Sinai Indaba symposium in South Africa. In the process, we’ve reached tens of thousands of Jews (and many non-Jews) of all backgrounds and beliefs, helping them to gain mastery of their minds and experience elevation in their lives.

“I was absolutely blown away by what I saw and heard … Over the course of my life, from my youth in yeshiva until today, I have heard countless lectures from Rabbis on similar subjects of mussar (character development), tikkun hamiddos (emotional transformation) and avodas Hashem, but I have never heard anything come close to the extraordinary depth, clarity and applicability of what Rav Doniel Katz teaches in this seminar.”
Rav Moshe Schatz, Jerusalem
“After suffering for years from chronic illness, I had searched tirelessly for answers which neither western, functional or alternative medicine had to offer. When Rav Katz and the Elevation Program entered my life, I finally found the path to the deep healing and connection I yearned for. With every new technique I learned and adopted from the Elevation Program, my mind, heart and body were calmed, healed and transformed. I am so thankful to Rav Doniel for bringing these teachings to the world.”
Hannah Cohen, Florida
“It was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced…I was blown away by my own ability to calm my mind and control my thoughts this way. I didn’t know I could do that…and it’s revolutionary to realize that I can generate my own positive emotions this strongly…”
Rebecca Salman, Brooklyn
“Elevation has made a huge impact on me in a relatively short time. It helped me think more clearly and manage my emotions better, which has been of great benefit both personally and professionally. I’m more at peace with myself and others, and I feel more connected to myself than I ever knew I could. I am incredibly grateful.”
Gregg DeMammos, Washington D.C.
“Absolutely fantastic – high, high experiences and totally transformative. Exactly what I as looking for all my life. Who knew it was this close to home?”
Michael Kleinman, Atlanta
“I am very impressed with Rabbi Katz’s ability to facilitate deep and positive change in people’s lives. I have attended two of the seminars and have been profoundly affected by the depth, breadth and beauty of the Torah sources Rabbi Katz presents and by the powerful methods he teaches for applying the insights contained therein to life. The benefits are intellectual, spiritual and emotional: increased meaning in life; improved self-worth; acknowledgement of and respect for one’s spiritual self; inner harmony; improved relationships; closeness to God and love of Torah. I myself have experienced such benefits and have received similar feedback from many of Rabbi Katz’s students over the years.”
Dr. Yehudis Mishell, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, Maalot and Moreshet, Jerusalem
“Sometimes I am shocked at how well my children react and handle the curveballs of life. My children are being raised on Elevation teachings, which go far beyond individual lessons that I can give over. Elevation provides a framework in which one can access his own self-knowledgeand inner resilience. Instead of a new method “to add on” to the proverbial parenting tool box, Elevation taught me how to strip away all outer layers and release the soul and depth of myself and my children. Raising children is often more about “raising parents” and by raising myself through Elevation, I have been empowered to raise kids with incredible capabilities. My home has been transformed into a place of calm exciting energy. If calm seems like the opposite of high energy, I suggest you check out what Elevation is offering…”
Rebbetzin Amit Yaghoubi, New York
“Despite having been to ashrams in India, learned at the Kabbalah Center and practiced many different paths. I found the Elevation Mastery Program to be absolutely mind-blowing. Rav Doniel really took me to a way deeper place within myself than I had ever gone to in all these similar programs, and I broke through some pretty amazing blocks. Elevation teaches a deeper understanding of how we are made up psychologically, spiritually and our connection to God and the Universe and how it all works. I feel so happy to finally be learning my own wisdom – the wisdom of my people.”
Ayelet Saban, Tel Aviv
MEET RAV DNIEL KATZ
Visionary educator and internationally sought-after speaker, Rav Doniel Katz is the creative force behind the Elevation Project.
For more than a decade, Rav Doniel’s open and compassionate teachings have been a catalyst for change in the lives of thousands of people worldwide. Born and raised in Australia, Rav Doniel abandoned his award-winning film and theatre career in his mid-twenties after a year of intensive spiritual awakening. Exploring many wisdom paths and traditions in search of deeper clarity to explain his experiences, he was finally led to Jerusalem in 2000. Since then, he has spent nearly two decades immersed in the world of Torah and Kabbalistic teachings, learning from some of the city’s great rabbis and spiritual masters.
Rav Doniel has lectured extensively around the world for the last 10 years, during which time he was also a faculty member at Neve Yerushalayim and Aish HaTorah in Jerusalem. In addition, he spoke at a 2015 symposium on science and the meditational tools of Abrahamic traditions at the Mind & Life Institute in Massachusetts; was invited by the Chief Rabbi of South Africa to speak at the Sinai Indaba conference in Johannesburg and Cape Town, during which over 5000 people attended his Elevation sessions; and presented at the 2016 Wisdom 2.0 conference in Tel Aviv.
By nature an integrator and systems thinker, Rav Doniel is a deep spiritual seeker with a gift for awakening those same spiritual sensibilities in those he encounters, whatever their backgrounds or beliefs. Challenging conventional paradigms of self and the nature of reality, his teachings exist at the nexus of ancient and modern, intellect and emotion, spiritual and practical.
Rav Doniel’s mission is to reveal the unity among different paths of Torah — to allow all people, everywhere, to experience its spiritual depth, beauty, and transformative power.
