Sing, serve and celebrate together

A joyful community of families and friends across Israel, living in the spirit of Bhakti Yoga.

Growing together through friendship and faith

Who we are

We’re families, friends, students and spiritual seekers living all over Israel, connected by the timeless wisdom of ancient texts like the Bhagavad Gita and the joyful practice of Bhakti Yoga.

On any given week you’ll find us singing kirtan, cooking a feast together, or out in the city serving hot meals.

What is Bhakti Yoga?

Bhakti Yoga is the path of connecting with God by cultivating love, gratitude and acts of service. It’s about bringing more awareness, kindness and joy into everyday moments.

  • Kirtan and mantra
  • Wisdom of the Gita
  • Vegetarian cooking
  • Serving others

Every act of service becomes an offering of love

A community of people, for people

Through projects like Food for Life and the Gita Yoga Fest, our love for God turns into love for people. We serve, celebrate, feed and grow together, sharing joy, compassion and connection across Israel.
