About Us
Shema Israel – Ohr Olam, meaning “Hear, O Israel – Light the World” in Hebrew, is an Israeli nonprofit organization dedicated to spreading Torah education to Jews and non-Jews in Israel and around the world. We support unique, entertaining, meaningful, and experiential Jewish educational initiatives that reach the ears of Israel and inspire the world.
We believe in spreading a universal Torah that is meaningful and relevant to all humanity. We believe the greatest way to bring lasting peace to Israel and combat global antisemitism is to shine the light of Torah throughout the world.
We believe the most impactful education comes not only from intellectual understanding, but also from personal experience in and from the Land of Israel.

Our Projects
The Arugot Farm Spiritual Center
In the majestic heights where Judea’s mountains meet the desert, overlooking breathtaking views of the Dead Sea and the awe-inspiring cliffs of the Arugot Valley, Arugot Farm offers an encounter with the Judean frontier.
A new resort in the mountains of Judea, Arugot Farm welcomes people from around the world to experience the Land of Israel in a unique way, at the edge of the mountains overlooking the Judean Desert.
The Spiritual Center at the top of Arugot Farm is its centerpiece and crown jewel. On Shabbat, it functions as a Bet Knesset, hosting Orthodox Jewish prayer services guided and led by the guests themselves. From Sephardi to Ashkenazi, Modern Orthodox to Charedi, and Noar Gevaot to yeshiva and seminary students, Arugot Farm welcomes Jews from every background to join in prayer.
During the week, the Spiritual Center functions as a Bet Tefilah. It hosts prayers, workshops, classes, concerts, and other forms of Avoda Shebalev—service of the heart.
Arugot Farm welcomes people of every country, background, and religion to experience Judea, the Torah, and the spirit of King David in the mountains where he wrote many of the Psalms.

The Land of Israel Network exists to bring the light of Torah to the nations, strengthen the Jewish people, support the flourishing of the Land of Israel, and build a global community devoted to God’s promises—all from the heart of Israel.
