The desert night was silent. In the distance a faint rumbling was
heard through the wind that became louder and louder. Suddenly they
appeared -- over a hundred tanks!

Insight
of the Week
8 Tishrei 5783 - Monday, Oct. 3, 2022
If one devotes
oneself to Teshuvah (becoming closer to G-d, by improving
one's character and one's performance of mitzvahs) in the days between
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the purification one experiences on
Yom Kippur is complete, and all judgments are sweetened.
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.
On Rosh Hashanah, our purpose is to coronate G-d as
King of our lives. This goal continues throughout the Days of Repentance
and reaches completion on Yom Kippur. Yet what is the essential difference
between the coronation on the two different holidays?
