Jewish Spirituality
Aleph www.aleph.org
ALEPH grew out of the P'nai Or Religious Fellowship founded by Rabbi
Zalman Schachter-Shalomi in 1962. ALEPH is a core institution in the Jewish renewal
movement, dedicated to the Jewish people's sacred purpose of
partnership with the Divine in the inseparable tasks of healing the
world and healing our hearts.
ALEPH supports and grows
the worldwide movement for Jewish renewal by organizing and nurturing
communities, developing leadership, creating liturgical and scholarly
resources, and working for social and environmental justice.
ALEPH has attracted and energized thousands of seekers returning to
Judaism, including many whose journey has led them through other
spiritual traditions.
