Insight
of the Week
2 Sivan 5783 - Monday, May 22, 2023
Mitzvot are
performed with, and intended to transform, physical objects. Even
prayer and Torah study is intended to affect our bodies; i.e. one's
heart should actually feel love and awe of G-d.
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.
In each person's life there are many journeys, comparable
to the journeys of the Jewish people in the desert. We move from
place to place, city to city, job to job, relationship to relationship.
They are not always journeys for the sake of Torah and its commandments
or to help us fulfill our spiritual mission. Often they are connected
to events or circumstances happening around us, or attempts to improve
our material situation.
If you enjoyed Saturday
Night Full Moon", you're sure to want its sequel. Another collection
