Jewish holistic healing

Programs & retreats

Drawing from Torah, the Talmudic sages, the Rambam, and the masters of Tzfat — all expressed in the daily rhythms of a working healing center.

Rambam Medicine

Consultations grounded in Maimonides' Hilchot De'ot — diet, sleep, breath, and the balance of the four humors as living medical practice today.

Biblical Herbalism

Apprenticeships in the medicinal plants of the Tanach and Talmud — hyssop (ezov), olive, balm of Gilead, sage, and the herbs of the Galilee.

Chassidic Soul Counsel

Hitbodedut, teshuvah work, and one-on-one spiritual direction in the lineage of the Baal Shem Tov and Rebbe Nachman of Breslov.

Kabbalistic Meditation

Guided practice from the Tzfat masters — divine name meditations, sefirot work, and the inner geography of the soul.

Shabbat Healing Retreats

Friday-to-Sunday immersions: candle-lighting, festive meals, niggunim, treatments, and the deep rest of Shabbat as the original Jewish medicine.

Mikveh & Water Renewal

Access to a natural mayim chayim mikveh for monthly renewal, healing intentions, and pre-Shabbat purification.

Niggun Circles

Wordless Chassidic melodies as devotional and therapeutic practice — weekly evening gatherings under the olive pavilion.

Bikur Cholim Training

Workshops in the mitzvah of visiting the sick — Jewish presence, prayer, and accompaniment for caregivers and chaplains.
