Current Projects
Or HaLev is dedicated to our mission of bringing mindful Judaism to the world, one person at a time.
Our Work in Israel
Or HaLev builds pluralistic practice through Jewish spirituality and meditation - engaging Israelis from widely different backgrounds. By providing precious resources for crafting a meaningful life through connection, joy and inspiration rooted in shared Jewish spiritual heritage, Or HaLev opens hearts while reducing fear and prejudice. Or HaLev’s transformative models of mindfulness practice directly impact Israelis, particularly young adults, enabling the growth of a movement to create accessible, relevant, pluralistic Judaism open to all Jews in Israel and throughout the world.
In a society constantly experiencing trauma and uncertainty, Or HaLev provides a unique opportunity for Israelis from vastly different places to come together in practice that leads to healing, resilience and compassion.
Recently, Or HaLev responded quickly to the crisis in Israel by developing new online courses to provide support and healing for a traumatized Israeli population.
Israeli Spiritual Leaders Program
This two year program of study and practice, which is still in development, will help create more mindful, present, resilient and effective Israeli Jewish leaders, who will infuse deep spirituality into their communities and promote pluralistic Jewish practice throughout Israel. This is based on the pilot program created by Jennie Litvack in 2017, which included training and micro-grants to participants.
