Or Halev: Center for Jewish Spirituality and Meditation

Or HaLev teaches Jewish spirituality, meditation and mindfulness as paths of transformation, healing and growth for individuals, communities, Judaism and the world. We teach a deep connection to the sacred, the cultivation of midot such as wisdom, compassion, love, and joy, the integration of mind, heart, body and soul, and a vibrant meaningful Judaism that speaks to our most basic and everyday needs. We are committed to a deep, serious and authentic engagement with Jewish texts, traditions and spiritual practice. Or HaLev is a small yet impactful organization that runs Jewish meditation and spirituality retreats, as well as other educational opportunities on three continents, and is a world leader in Jewish spirituality and spiritual practice. We are a pluralistic organization that honors each person’s Jewish background and journey, strives to be accessible to all and aims to provide a meaningful, transformative and directly relevant Judaism to all those who encounter us. We believe the practices we teach and the wisdom we share can help create awakened hearts, healthy relationships, a renewed Judaism and a compassionate, loving world.
