We live in a complicated world. There are so many variables to put together. What is the order in which everything works to synchronize? Does a single idea exist and provide us with a solution to our problem? Where should we look to find an answer to our real questions? Throughout time our prophets have taught us the answer to these questions. They directed us back on the path of Torah and service of Hashem. We were shown and inspired to perfect our relationships with our fellow man.

Klal Yisroel was brought back to Har Sinai where we accepted 10 commandments which contain mitzvos that are divided in two. Mitzvos that we do to serve Hashem and mitzvos that demonstrate our responsibility to our fellow man. One realm does not exist with out the other. Division between these realms undermines the entire fulfillment of Torah and mitzvos.

Torah education must occupy a leading position in transforming our reality into a true and sensitive one. Learning must bring us to fulfill our obligations to Hashem and to our nation.

Devorah the prophetess sat under a palm tree when she taught and judged the Children of Israel. The Talmud explains the significance of the palm tree only having "one heart." The nation of Israel is a people who inherently have one heart and soul. During Devorah’s time the nation had one heart seeking Hashem. This was the Tomer (palm tree) of Devorah. This tree simplifies things, unifies things. This "heart of the palm" provides us with the solution to our problem. This is the answer that our prophets show us.

This is the hope of our Tomer Devorah: to provide you with the environment to grow, learn and develop your sensitivities in Torah and service of Hashem in Eretz Yisroel. Come join us and plant your heart in Tomer Devorah.
