Insight
of the Week
15 IYAR 5782 - Monday, May 16, 2022
On
the day of his passing, Rebbe Shimon bar-Yochai said, Now is an auspicious
time to reveal the secrets of the Torah. I wish to do so in the presence of the
Shechinah, so that no one will say that I left the world without fulfilling
my task, and that I concealed these secrets in my heart until now so that they
would come with me to the World to Come.
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.
... that any person who serves
G d is most certainly blessed for his efforts with all manner of physical and
spiritual blessings, some that we sometimes perceive and sometimes not (because
all the commandments are conduits for blessings in THIS world).

Israel, outside of Israel this parsha will be read next Shabbat
