Rabbi Boruch DuBrow
Welcome to my corner of the world! A place to come for inspiration, motivation, and a little bit of ass-kickery.
But most importantly, a place to come to gain the tools you need to level up in your life as husband, father, and man.
Here you will find a different perspective on the world and the way it works. I humbly bring to you my 15+ years of experience as a world traveling educator, coach, speaker, and rabbi.
While many of those titles may seem very much “in the lines”, I assure you my purpose here is to help you walk Strictly Outside the Lines!
So without further ado, I present you one last crumb to nibble on…
“The purpose of life, is to live it!”
Who am I?
It all started many years ago when the doctors told my mother that, because of her cancer, she wouldn’t be able to have any more kids.
And then I came along.
Since then my life has been anything but normal.
I’ve somehow managed to find myself always outside the lines of what was considered “Common” or “Normal”.
Whether it was growing up in S. Louis, Missouri as a member of one of three Hassidic families in a predominantly modern orthdox community. Or moving back to Los Angeles and joining the Hassidic community, but being an outlier because of my very "Modern Orthodox” habits.
Somehow I always found myself Strictly Outside the Lines.
As the years went by I found
myself becoming more and more
of an outsider, trying to claw my
way in but feeling pulled by the
outside.
You see, I didn’t yet understand that being part of the “norm” wasn’t all that it was cracked out to be.
So as time went on I would learn what it meant to be part of “Society” and the “Community”, but I was always asking questions, trying to make sure I understood WHY things were the way they were.
Well as you can imagine, this landed me in trouble many times. For some reason people didn’t like it when others asked questions that challenged their way of thinking.
What was once my greatest struggle, now became my greatest strength.
I started using this newfound knowledge to help myself get further in life.
More importantly, I used it to help others break free of their own limitations. To break free, discover their strengths, and to create a life worth living.
As men, fathers, and husbands, the world is trying to tell us how to think, feel, and behave. They want us all to be factory made, cookie cutter type people. To nicely play our role and go on about our life.
I say…to hell with that.
You are being called for something more, something greater. You’re being called to fulfill a mission much greater than yourself.
So, while it is not your fault that that is how you got to where you are today, it’s your responsibility to make sure you don’t stay there.
It is time to level up, get the tools and skills you need to make it to the next level, and to keep climbing.
I’ve been fortunate to have found powerful men to pour into my life. They’ve given me of their time, energy, and knowledge to help me become who I am today.
Now it’s my turn to do the same. I spend my time helping individuals and organizations to ask the important questions that will create lasting change.
Together we define where the pre-determined lines are, and we craft a strategy that goes beyond the lines.
Whether in business and career, or relationships, spirituality, and daily habits. Whatever it may be, change is ready to happen, you just have to make it happen.
Well, what are you waiting for.
The purpose of life is to live it… time to take the first step.
I quickly learned that being on the “outside” wasn’t such a bad thing after all.
I started to ask more questions, not for the sake of refuting and denying, but for the sake of understanding.
What I came to learn was that being “Different” and being “Outside” gave me the gift of seeing things from a different perspective.
The facts are you probably weren’t given the tools you needed to be the best man, husband, and father you could be.
You were taught to go to school and get good grades so you could get a good job building someone else’s life. That’s not what you were meant for.
