Insight of the Week

Why did the Torah use sight to describe (Ex. 20:15) the tremendous
revelation of G-d's essence and the supernal joy experienced at the
Torah's giving - as well as the delight of the Jewish nation at these
revelations? Since Torah learning is primarily an intellectual endeavor,
wouldn't terms describing mental perceptions have been more appropriate?
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.

lottery players). And just like acquiring money requires hard work,
so does developing a rich relationship with G-d.
