Spiritual Rosh Hashanah Retreat Held at Kfar Hitim

Dozens of students and staff from the "Kodkod" program, along with rabbis, gathered at Kfar Hitim for an intensive Rosh Hashanah retreat. The location, overlooking the Sea of Galilee and mountain peaks, provided a serene backdrop for the holiday observance, which focused on disconnecting from daily distractions and communal prayer.

The spiritual peak of the holiday occurred within the Beit Midrash (study hall), where morning and additional prayers lasted until the afternoon. Rabbi Aharon Razal led the services, transforming traditional liturgy into deeply moving spiritual and musical journeys with ancient melodies and powerful, unifying chants during key moments like "V'tenah Tokef" and the sounding of the shofar.

The communal prayer experience extended to holiday meals, where participants shared songs and spiritual discussions. Rabbis delivered inspirational talks, offering hope and guidance for the new year, emphasizing the community's responsibilities during these times. The retreat concluded with participants feeling spiritually recharged and prepared for the year ahead.
