It is located near the southern area of the Jordan valley. The salt-rich Dead Sea is the lowest point on the earth's surface, being 400 meters below sea level. The air around the Dead Sea is unpolluted, dry, and pollen-free with low humidity, providing a naturally relaxing environment. The air in the region has a high mineral content due to the constant evaporation of the mineral rich water. 3. The Dead Sea comes in the list of the world's greatest landmarks, and is sometimes considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. People usually miss out on this as they do not realize the importance of its unique contents. The Dead Sea has twenty-one minerals which have been found to give nourishment to the skin, stimulate the circulatory system, give a relaxed feeling, and treat disorders of the metabolism and rheumatism and associate pains. The Dead Sea mud has been used by people all over the world for beauty purposes.

  • Selected Shavuot Halachot First Night
    SELECTED SHAVUOT HALACHOT FIRST NIGHT (SUNDAY MAY 16) 1. On Sunday evening, first night Shavuot, many have the minhag to only daven Maariv at night fall. This is based on a well-established custom, cited in the Magen Avraham, not to bring in the Yom Tov of Shavuot early so as to complete the final, 49th, day of the Omer. This inevitably leads to a very late start to the Seuda, and must be weighed against the diminution in Simchat Yom Tov if one eats at a time at which one will not have appetite or when it will be too late for some members of the family to participate. For this reason we offer two times for Kabbalat Yom Tov: Mincha followed Maariv at 7.15pm, with the earliest time for Hadlakat HaNerot at 7.10pm. Kiddush and the meal can then be made immediately upon one's return home from shul. Latest time for start of Yom Tov and Mincha at 8.33pm, followed by a shiur and late Maariv at 9.39pm 2. For those who say Yizkor, many have the minhag to light a Yahrzheit candle in advance of Chaggim on which we say Yizkor. On Yom Tov we can only light from pre-existing flames. For this reason, a 24 or 48 hour candle might be useful for lighting the second day candles and for those who will wish to light their gas stove tops over Yom Tov TIKKUN LEYL 3. Please see HERE for full details of our communal Tikkun Leyl learning programmes, including for main learning programme, Youth and Lehava (young ladies) 4.
