After more than 50 years of living and building in the land of Israel, we, the members of the African Hebrew Israelite community, are profoundly convinced of the genius inherent in our way of life. Guided by the visionary teachings of our beloved spiritual leader, Ben Ammi Ben-Israel (ABBA), we have dedicated ourselves to a profound and practical endeavor: "mastering the art of living." This journey has been one of continuous growth, learning, and the joyful realization of a society designed for true well-being.
The Foundation of Our Way of Life
Our community's journey began with a commitment to principles that foster a healthy, synergetic, and productive existence. From the very beginning, we embraced a plant-based lifestyle, recognizing its profound impact on physical vitality and spiritual clarity. We understood that true health extends beyond the absence of illness; it encompasses a harmonious relationship with our bodies, our community, and the natural world. This holistic approach, rooted in our African cultural heritage and spiritual tenets, forms the bedrock of our collective experience.
Nurturing Holistic Well-being
In the Village of Peace, every institution and daily practice is designed to enhance our ability to live a life of purpose and vitality. Our commitment to holistic health means we prioritize nourishing our bodies with wholesome, organic, plant-based foods, engaging in regular physical activity, and cultivating inner peace through spiritual reflection and communal harmony. We have witnessed firsthand how a conscious approach to nutrition, combined with a supportive social atmosphere, contributes to a profound sense of sanity and well-being, allowing each individual to flourish and contribute their unique gifts.
Stewarding Our Planet Responsibly
- cornerstone of mastering the art of living is our unwavering dedication to environmental stewardship. We are certain of our ability to build a society that lives in harmony with nature, without polluting our precious air, water, and soil. Through sustainable practices, we strive to access and manufacture essential products in ways that preserve our environment, ensuring a healthy planet for future generations of our youth. We cultivate safe, nutritious food in our community gardens, harnessing the earth’s bounty while respecting its delicate balance.
Our commitment extends to innovative solutions, such as sourcing renewable energy and diligently recycling our water resources. These practices are not mere conveniences; they are integral expressions of our spiritual mandate to be responsible caretakers of creation. By living consciously, we demonstrate that it is entirely possible to meet our needs while upholding the integrity of the natural world around us.
The Power of Community and Connection
Perhaps most importantly, our journey has taught us the transformative power of creating a sustainable social atmosphere that truly feeds our sanity. In the Village of Peace, we foster deep connections, shared purpose, and mutual responsibility. This communal fabric provides a sense of security, belonging, and collective strength that is invaluable. It is within this supportive environment that individuals find the encouragement to grow, to heal, and to contribute to something larger than themselves.
We have rehearsed this way of life over the past 50 plus years, proving its efficacy and resilience. The challenges we have faced have only strengthened our resolve and deepened our understanding of what it means to build a truly thriving, intelligent society — one where every aspect of life, from the food we eat to the relationships we nurture, enhances our collective well-being.
