Introducing himself as an African American rabbi, Dovid Vigler blends together the African culture in which he was raised with the esoteric Chassidic pulse of his passion. Inspired by the survival instincts of -the wild, Rabbi Vigler is most comfortable teaching down-to-earth and easy-to-understand explanations of deep mystical concepts taught in the Kaballah and Chassidic works. He believes that true genius is not the ability to complicate the simple, but the ability to simplify the complex.

Driven by the Rebbe’s message to reach out to every single last Jew, he founded Schmooze Radio in 2009, South Florida’s only Torah Radio Show, ‘separating fact from fiction and bubbe maasehs from the bottom line’. A live call-in show, there are no holds barred and any question from his forty thousand weekly listeners is fair game. Now in it’s fourth year, Schmooze Radio recently added a co-host, CEO Mr. Mitchell Zachary, where the rabbi and the CEO face-off on all relevant issues and current affairs as they settle the Jewish views on the news. Schmooze Radio is broadcast from Boca Raton through Vero Beach every Sunday Morning at 9am. Visit www.JewishGardens.com/Radio for station info and archives.

Rabbi Dovid Vigler received his Rabbinical Ordination in Melbourne Australia in 2004. Together with his wife, Chana, they founded and direct the Chabad of Palm Beach Gardens , FL in 2006 where they have created a dynamic, warm and inspired community in one of America's most disaffiliated Jewish Communities, in seven short years.
