Mercaz Ein Sof was founded five years ago by Ilan Levy and Pablo Ezra with one simple idea: to offer authentic Judaism that keeps bringing Am Israel together. What began as an idea between two friends is now a living meeting space — Shabbatons, interactive personal-growth classes, meditation, yoga and kumzitz around the fire. And behind every activity, the same intention: creating places where everyone can express their true self, meet new people, build bonds that last — and bring more light into the world.
Mercaz Ein Sof lives in Israel — every gathering happens here — and is open to Jews from all over the world passing through the land. The atmosphere we are building is international and diverse: Tel Aviv energy, open and mixed, while keeping something genuinely dati at the heart.

Body and soul — during the week and on Shabbat
A whole Shabbat away from the noise: Kabbalat Shabbat at sunset, shared tables, songs and real time to simply be. Every Shabbat with a character of its own.
Personal growth drawn from the sources: dynamic sessions where you ask, discuss and take home something of your own.
Guided meditations joining Jewish tradition with the calm of the present: hitbodedut, breathing and silence facing the valley.
Practice open to all levels, outdoors whenever the weather allows: the body is part of the journey too.
Fire, guitar and voices late into the night. Music that binds souls together and asks for nothing in return — the way a Shabbat should end.
The full experience: three days of disconnection with Judaism at the core and complete openness to yoga and meditation. How it works →
Why do we make Shabbat?
Because we want to create spaces where everyone can be themselves. Where there is nothing to pretend: just arrive, breathe and express your true self. Spaces to meet people, encounter other souls and form real bonds — because Am Israel is built one gathering at a time, and every gathering spreads more light into the world.
Join the next Shabbaton
Three days in nature with Judaism at the center: deep meditations, inspiring Torah learning, yoga, and kumzitz by the fire with songs and havdalah under the open sky. Shared tables, delicious homemade food and beautiful souls from all over the world — a space where everyone can be themselves and form real bonds.
Every event offers two ways to sleep — choose yours
The classic Shabbaton experience: sleep in a tent together with the group, surrounded by nature under the open sky. Bring your own blanket.
