"I was terrifed. I understood that

KISLEV, a
major chasidic celebration (not just Chabad), is this Shabbat.
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
Torah tells us that Yaacov was injured in his thigh. The "product of the
thighs" is a Hebrew expression referring to our children. Being injured in
the thigh is a hint that how we behave, how we spend our spare time now affects
our future generations.
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
