Friday Shabbat

Please note that currently there is no working “flushing” restroom on site, however we offer an old fashioned private bucket system.

Friday ‘Fruitluck’ Shabbat Service

Traditionally, Shabbat begins just after sundown. However, our service generally begins at 7:30 PM summer or winter in order to accommodate people’s ability to commute to and from our site after rush hour traffic and so that if traveling home, you won’t get home too late.
All Shabbat attendees are welcome to camp overnight at the land.
You are also welcome to come early to the land on day of service to commune with nature. This is the formal order of service, however, we may be casual in our approach to a gathering as it serves those in attendance.

      May Her favor be upon you And a thousand generations,
      And your family and your children And their children, and their children.
      May Their presence go before you. And behind you and beside you,
      All around you and within you. He is with you. She is with you.

      In your weeping and rejoicing. He is for you. She is for you.

Testimonials

"I still can't believe that I ended up at this amazing place! This is a true WWOOF experience. A meaningful exchange of mutual benefit. Working side by side with Anand and Mason has been inspiring. They have wonderful spirits and have created their own space right in the middle of Las Vegas. An oasis. Their garden is beautiful and their food mind blowing! (I can still taste the ginger kale salad and that creamy berry smoothie!)
“They set an example for others and do this in a very positive way. I truly believe they make a difference in this city of excesses and lost spirits. Their motivation and energy is impressive. Thanks again! And for future WWOOFers, don't be intimidated by the house rules! They are what they are, and stand for the good intentions of these two individuals. Challenge yourself and embrace it. You will get a lot in return.”
Adriaan Bakker, WWOOF-US Guest

"I couldn't have found a better place to stay while I was in Vegas for a month. The hosts were super helpful and friendly! We went to health classes, meetings, and hiking while I was there. If you are health conscious, and sober, this is the perfect place for you to find serenity in a city full of chaos. I made new friends for life and will definitely go back in the future!"
Mary – Ashville NC Airbnb Guest

"I love this home so much. During my stay I observed Shabbat, met a Bikram yogi, got half a dozen great book recommendations, and a couple documentary recommendations too. I was introduced to some great green products and great places to purchase vegan foods."
