Spiritualism has also hit the singles scene that is always on the lookout for new and original ways of creating new ties.
Those who have tiered of the sleazy dating scenes can now try the spiritual option by seeking the aid of Rabbi Yonosson (Yonatan) Ben Uziel, a gifted disciple of the famous Hillel.
Tradition has it that unmarried persons visiting Rabbi Yonosson Ben Uziel's resting place would be guaranteed marriage within a year. Today, the tomb located in Amuka nestled in the hills near Safed has become a preferred pilgrimage site for singles.
Izhar Hess, who runs the Derech Halev Company (The Way of the Heart) organizes tours of the site while focusing on spirituality and awareness. Hess tours the tombs with singles and pays special attention to the tomb of Ben Uziel.
Later he blends both worlds with activities such as card and awareness games, in which each of the participants discloses another character trait. This is a good way to learn about the participants' backgrounds.
The tour also includes group meditation, coffee and tea around a bonfire while Hess unfolds stories relating to traditional and historic relations. Later Hess holds prayer sessions where each participant can have a heart to heart talk with the pious man and himself.
Hess explained that this gives participants an opportunity to think about what they really want from life. As a bonus, the special relationship that is created between the participants serves as a good basis for a future intimate relationship.
You may very well end up having to tell your grandchildren that you met your spouse at a cemetery.
