Insight of the Week
18 Tishrei 5780 - Thursday, October 17, 2019
It is the task
of the People of Israel to bring the glory of G-d's kingdom to all
the nations of the world, and all of creation. The animal offerings
in the Hioly Temple on SUKKOT reflected this mission.
Ascentof Safed is designed to be a place for relaxation, reflection,
interaction, and spiritual exploration, where you can grow and learn
in your own way, at your own pace, in an open atmosphere. You can
experience a wide range of learning, volunteer, creative, recreation
and other opportunities at Ascent as well as in the Old City of Tzfat.
We can help you create a personalized study plan, you can join one
of our weekend or weekday retreats, or you can come to relax and attend
study and meditation sessions at your leisure, while staying in our
great hostel with its spectacular views.
The primary purpose of the Torah is to teach the Jewish people about
the commandments, so why does the Torah open with the story of Creation
and not with a mitzvah.
If you enjoyed Saturday
Night Full Moon", you're sure to want its sequel. Another
collection of intriguing Stories of Kabbalah Sages, Chasidic Masters
and other Jewish Heroes by Ascent's storymaster, Yerachmiel Tilles.
