Shabbat and Holiday Meals
You are invited to join us for every Shabbat and holiday for a festive experience with a happy energetic Israeli atmosphere where we sing Shabbat songs and feel a sense of familiarity and a taste of home (with a hint of Goa) . The meals take place on sabbath day as well. You won’t want to miss sharing a Shabbat experience with us! You must make a reservation in advance so that we may prepare accordingly.

A variety of topics are covered such as kabala and mysticism, the theory of mind, the weekly Torah portion and more all followed by a fun and enjoyable dinner all in a warm, inviting and nonjudgmental environment. This is the place to ask, discuss, and delve into topics of interest and most importantly to leave with new insights. Feel free to join with friends! The more the merrier!
Challa Baking and Women’s Nights

Help with spirituality and worldliness
We are here with love, sensitivity and concern for each and every person. In the unfortunate event of health problems, drug victims, evacuating casualties, injured parties etc. we provide an initial response, first aid, medical escorts, and of course personal guidance. Whenever necessary we contact the families in Israel and assist in traveler rescues and their return to Israel in order to receive the appropriate treatment.
