Welcome to Mishkan Hakavana
Our learning community comes together from across the world to study Kabbalah. We uphold a sacred responsibility to reshape our consciousness and reveal the wisdom concealed within the Torah. As seekers, we are all invited to boh u’re’eh:
come and see.
The Purpose of Our Study
Studying Kabbalah reshapes and re-forms our understanding of ourselves, our world, and our relationship to the Higher. Under the guidance of our Rabbah, we study Kabbalah together to build deep connections with each other so we may become partners with Divinity in Tikkun Olam, the re-formation of the world.
The Mishkan Hakavana Experience
Based in Israel, the Mishkan brings together people of all genders, backgrounds, and levels of experience from countries across the world. Our approach is not academic but organic. Our questions strive to reveal the very purpose of life, driving a collective exploration of spiritual realms. We allow ourselves to be transformed by the journey - each of us and all of us together.

The Role of Israel
There isn't a definition of what Israel is now or what it should be. Israel can only be defined by the true effort that will allow us to become what we need to be. We don't know yet who we are as Israel. We need to sort out the value and meaning of what [...]

The Importance of a Group in Studying Kabbalah
Spiritual uniqueness, the Nibuy, cannot be defined by an individual on his own. It exists only through the surrounding ecology, through the group. Without a spiritual environment there is no spiritual identity, just as a baby raised without human contact [...]
