Spiritual Rosh Hashanah Retreat at Kfar Hittim Draws Hundreds
Hundreds of religious men gathered at Kfar Hittim, overlooking the Sea of Galilee, for a Rosh Hashanah retreat focused on prayer and community. The event, held without screens or digital distractions, aimed to foster a deep spiritual connection and communal prayer.
The highlight of the holiday was the morning and additional prayers, led by Rabbi Aharon Razal, which lasted until 2 p.m. Razal's passionate and soulful cantorial performance, blending ancient melodies with powerful, unifying singing, created an atmosphere of intense spiritual elevation.
Communal holiday meals followed the prayers, featuring singing, spiritual talks, and lessons from rabbis. These gatherings emphasized hope, strength, and guidance for the new year, with a particular focus on communal responsibility during current times.
The retreat offered participants a profound spiritual recharge, immersing them in prayer, song, and Torah study against the backdrop of the Galilean landscape. Attendees departed with renewed spiritual energy for the year ahead.
