We are a Los Angeles based egalitarian, non-denominational Jewish community founded over thirty years ago by esteemed Rabbi Jonathan Omer-Man. Metivta is a unique place for anyone interested in learning Jewish meditation, studying Jewish texts and practicing the teachings that are at the heart of these disciplines. Our focus is on contemplative study and practice within the Jewish tradition. Our c
ommunity is a blend of old and new, inclusive to all who have serious yearnings to deepen their connections between inner understanding of the mystery we call God and Jewish practice. We offer a contemplative way to be Jewish to normative Jews as well as to those who are uncomfortable, unfamiliar or untutored in traditional Judaism. We are currently a community "without walls," meeting in the Los Angeles area in the homes of members, friends of Metivta and meditation friendly synagogues. We welcome new members, their ideas and their involvement. We invite your participation and support.
