of the Week
3 TISHREI 5784 - Monday,Sept. 18, 2023
"The Talmud
declares that the inherent holiness of Yom Kippur in itself effects
atonement, but in order to benefit from this, a certain level of
participation on our part is required. The three principle modes
for our efforts are: TESHUVAH, TEFILLAH AND TZEDAKAH, which will
be explained inside...
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 ultimate part of the service on Yom Kippur was
the service of the High Priest in the Holy of Holies saying G-d's
name. The most holy Jew, on the most holy day, in the most holy
place. The closest to G-d. And the key to this process of coming
closer to G-d is to shed a holy tear because we have reunited our
soul with its source.
