Lag b'Omer
is the "celebration" day of Rabbi
Shimon bar Yochai, whose burial site is on Mount Meron.
Although Lag b'Omer is the anniversary of his departure to Heaven,
in accordance with his express death-bed wish it is treated as an
occasion of great joy.
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.

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
Sabbatical year teaches us that when we do what G-d desires, He
will bless us. Spiritual blessings that our efforts will not be
heavy on us, but rather a pleasure. Materially, we will see G-d's
blessings from the efforts of our hands.
