A little about 'Light in the home'
The 'Light in the Home' program is an alternative architecture and design method for building homes.
Everybody dreams of building a house, making a place for yourself in this world.
It is not for nothing that people say that 'a man's house is his fortress' - the house gives a feeling of security to its residents.
Stability and security, calm and balance.
The purpose of the 'Light in the home' method is for the house to be designed in such a way that it will satisfy the emotional and spiritual needs of the people living in it.
The home should be much more than just a corner to put your head down at the end of the day, and rest. It should be a safe place, a personal, protected space where one can grow and create his own life happily, out of peace of mind and harmony with one’s loved ones and with the environment in which they all live.
The physical home - the walls, ceiling and floor, planning the internal division and location of the home - are just the means to achieve these goals.
The ‘Light in the Home’ program rests on the foundations of the wisdom of Kabbalah and Hassidut.
The program was developed from an in-depth look at the interrelationships between man and the nature around him, as they are described in Judaism. We believe the design of the house should be adapted to the character and nature of the members living in that house.
We believe that when architecture is founded on the spiritual essence of every part of the home and connects with the energetic effect of the natural forces of man, the house, and its different rooms, fulfil their true purpose and thus the ‘home of your dreams’ is born.
A few words about me and the development of 'Light in the Home'
Eliyahu Asayag
Founder of the ‘Light in the Home’ program,
Lives in Bat Ayin, Gush Etzion
Married and father of 11 children.
I was born in 1958 in Moshav Peki'in, and as a teenager I studied in the Ben Shemen youth village, which combines standard studies with agricultural studies and practical agricultural work.
From the beginning of my life’s journey, I was close to nature and to Mother Earth.
In the army, I served as a soldier in the Golani Brigade. During my military service, I began to have existential questions, such as:
Who am I? What am I doing here? Do I have a goal in life, and what is it?
I realized that I would not find answers to such 'strange' questions in reputable educational institutions, such as a university,
And that if I am interested in real answers, I should look for them elsewhere.
This is how I started the process of 'searching for the wondrous'.
At the end of my military service, I worked as a freelancer in gardening.
I went back to the initial connection I had always known - to the beauty of nature, a simple and ancient beauty. Along with the beautiful gardens I maintained at the time, I continued my unconventional studies.
I began to read books that deal with questions about the essence of life, and I enrolled to study at the Institute of the Research of Kabbalah.
After a process of internal searching for two years, I became a Ba’al Teshuvah. I went ahead to study and teach Chassidut and Kabbalah,
And that is what I do, to this day.
From my studies over the years, the idea arose to build a house according to the wisdom of Kabbalah and Chassidut.
The understanding that guided me was that since each of the four spirits of the world (north, south, east and west) has an inner essence and character that sets it apart, each spirit has a different spiritual inspiration for the house and its occupants, and this is the significant factor to consider in the home design process.
Based on this understanding, the 'Light in the Home' method was developed, which combines the two great loves of my life -
Learning Kabbalah, and the infinite magic of nature.
