THE TFILA (THE PRAYER)
In our Bet Ha Knesset we pray with the siddur Yerushalaym, commonly accepted by all.
For those who wish, our Bet Ha knesset also re-introduces spiritual practices from our ancient sages . For example, before each Tfila (daily prayer), in the orchard which surrounds the Bet ha knesset, We offer “Hitbodedut” (Techniques of Jewish introspection and meditation that prepare for prayer)-
TTo deepen this ancestral knowledge, in the Kolel (the daily study center) courses offer the study of prophetic practices such as ascetism, posture, breathing and meditation technique, visualization, prayer, recitation of sacred texts and music, sacred song and dance and the technique of reception of the divine. The purpose of this study is to reaffirm our intimate relationship with the divine.
THE KOLEL (Daily Study Center)
In our Kolel each of the rabbanim and teachers belongs to one or another of the major movements of Judaism - Hasidic, Chabad, national religious, etc. – offering teachings related to their own tradition.
However, two principles unite these diverse teachings. The subjects all relate to the raison d’être of the Jews’ return to their land: Why did we return to the Land of Israel? What is our role in this holy land? How should we live here? What kind of society do we aspire to? What vision do we offer for klal Israel and for humanity?
The second point uniting all the teachers and their students is working the land. Our Beit Knesset is graced with abundant arable land for planting an edible forest intended to entertain and ourish everyone who needs it. To plant and maintain this little Garden of Eden our teachers and their students, joined by volunteers from all over Israel join together to experience the union between the material heritage (our land) and the spiritual heritage (our Torah).
