What is essential to you in a love relationship?

What feelings do you bring to a new relationship?

Yetzirah ~ The Vav represents the world of heart, feelings and emotional readiness. You are ready to connect with your beloved when you have healed from past relationships. Have you let go of old feelings of anger, hurt, and fear?

What actions do you take to find your soulmate?

Assiyah ~ The world of the lower Hay represents our physical being and our actions. Some of the actions of Assiyah are attending events of interest to you, keeping your body in shape, placing or answering a personal ad, attending a Basherte event.

Connecting Spirit to Action
Balancing and connecting the Four Worlds

Hang a new mezuzah.
"And write them on the door posts of your house and upon your gates." The Shema prayer, a psychophysical reminder of God's closeness, is on a handwritten scroll inside the mezuzah. The mezuzah, sometimes mistaken for a security control device, is the little box on the doorways or openings of houses and rooms. When we open to God, then we can truly open to our beloved. This mitzvah and others connect the world of spirit with the world of action.

"I met Efraim ten days after hanging a new, mezuzah. I learned about mezuzah from a friend who met her Basherte two months after she hung a new mezuzah. There are many true stories of people meeting their Basherte shortly after hanging a mezuzah. I invite you to a Basherte Workshop to hear my whole story."
Rosalie Harris-Eisen,
Basherte Founder

"The Jewish world has dating agencies and matchmakers and a range of Jewish teachers, not until Rosalie and Efraim created Basherte, did these worlds come together. This is fitting, since Basherte is about connecting- insights from our tradition, psychology, and spirituality to ourselves and to others. I loved their gentleness and wisdom."
