Insight of the Week

Menachem Av 5778 / Monday, July 16, 2018
There are a select number of individuals who live on a plane so high
above the rest of humanity that it seems as if they are a
completely different, higher species of being. They teach, but we grasp
but little, and from the few crumbs that we glean,
we can build mountains. Such a person was Rabbi Yitzhak Luria, the
holy ARI, the Lion of Safed.
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.
Moshe will now review all that has happened and all that he has taught
and will give his final instructions to the Jews who will soon have
to fight in order to take possession of the Promised Land.
