Our 28-moon journey—Shavuot Ha’Masaot (שבועות המסעות, “Weeks of Journeys”)—nurtures the seeds of new community shomrim (שומרים, “guardians”), guiding them to heal and restore shalom (שלום, “peace and wholeness”) within their sacred circles through our Mitzvah Ha’Chesed (מצוות החסד, “Act of Loving-kindness”) Program.

Hinei mah tov umah na’im, shevet achim gam yachad (הנה מה טוב ומה נעים שבת אחים גם יחד)—”Behold how good and pleasant it is when brothers and sisters dwell together in unity.” We walk the path of cooperation, honoring the ways of our ancestors from the four directions and the ancient tribes of Israel. Our vision flows from the Olam Ha’Briah (עולם הבריאה, “world of creation”), understanding that all life moves in sacred circles, where:

We cultivate bracha (ברכה, “blessing”) that flows through generations of our tribal families, like the Jordan River that never runs dry. We plant our resources in the fertile soil of each other’s dreams, tending them with the wisdom of our elders and the teachings of the Torah (תורה). This careful stewardship—tikkun olam (תיקון עולם, “repairing the world”)—ensures that the harvest will nourish our children and our children’s children unto the seventh generation.

We honor the gifts of our small-scale food producers, enhancing the medicine of what they create, and strengthening the sacred covenant—brit (ברית)—between tribal communities and those who trade with us. Like strands in a well-made basket, like the twelve tribes united, we are stronger together than apart.

Baruch atah Adonai (ברוך אתה אדוני), blessed is the path of harmony between people and the earth.

Our Gifting Cooperative is the best business model on earth based on a “Circular Economy.” Our Kehillat HaMatenot (קהילת המתנות, “Community of Gifts”) Cooperative follows the sacred path of Galgal HaChaim (גלגל החיים, “Wheel of Life”)—the most harmonious way of exchange that honors both earth and spirit. Like the ancient wisdom of Kohelet (קהלת, Ecclesiastes): “One generation goes, another comes, but the earth remains forever.”

Our sacred journey walks upon two paths:

Derech Rishon (דרך ראשון, “First Path”): We nurture the seeds of osher (עושר, “abundance”) for seven generations of our tribal members. As our ancestors gathered manna in the desert, we gather our resources and place them as offerings into each other’s most life-giving ventures. We tend these plantings with the wisdom of our elders—zekenim (זקנים)—practicing chochmah (חכמה, “wisdom”) in stewarding our gifts. This sacred cycle ensures that bracha (ברכה, “blessing”) flows like living waters through our families and sacred circles, bringing forth fruit in its season.

Derech Sheni (דרך שני, “Second Path”): We honor the work of hands that grow food from the soil—adamah (אדמה, “earth”)—creating new pathways for our small farmers’ sacred harvests to reach others. Like the ancient sukkot (סוכות, “harvest festival”), we celebrate and elevate the medicine of what is grown with reverence, strengthening the brit (ברית, “covenant”) between our people and those who trade in good faith.

As we say in prayer, Ma’aseh b’reishit (מעשה בראשית, “the work of creation”) continues through our hands when we live in a sacred relationship with all beings. Ken yehi ratzon (כן יהי רצון, “May it be so”).
