Rabbi
Eliyahu-Chaim Meisels suddenly appeared in the middle of the day,
wrapped in the special white kittel (long thin robe) that he only
wore on Yom Kippur and, still wearing his Tallis and Tefillin, walked
silently into the cemetery and lay down inside the front gate.

Moses was perplexed by the idea that the soul can
be redeemed by a piece of silver. Silver and soul are polar opposites,
the soul being the epitome of the spiritual and silver of earthliness.
And the whole reason the soul needs to be redeemed is because it has
become too overtaken by earthliness. How can the cure for too much
earthliness be more earthliness?
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.
Even
if in the past there were days when a person did not engage in fulfilling
his mission as it should be, because of the effort that he made,
he is assured that the Holy One, blessed be He, will complete and
fill even those days as well.
