ALEPH's Sister Organizations ALEPH, along with Elat Chayyim and the Yesod Foundation are the three "spiritual children" of Reb Zalman, charged by him with the continuation of his legacy and teachings.   The Elat Chayyim Center for Jewish Spirituality       originally a project of ALEPH, is now a program of the Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center teaching experiential approaches to Jewish learning, ritual and prayer that help participants in their search to cultivate the awareness of the Divine presence in all aspects of life.   The Yesod Foundation       brings the deep wisdom of the Jewish tradition to contemporary culture  by providing local and regional educational and community-building programs in Boulder, Colorado and by partnering with ALEPH in projects designed to preserve, develop and disseminate the life work of our mutual founder, Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, for our own and future generations.
