The Hebrew word for love is Ahava, which is rooted in the more molecular word hav, which means to give, revealing that, according to Judaism, giving is at the root of love. Love is not all about you, the lover, but about the other, the beloved.
Love calls us out of the confines of ourselves and into the wilderness of relationship. It is a transformative experience that dethrones the ego and puts it to work in the fulfillment of the needs and desires of another.
Love, then, is not about how you feel in someone else’s presence; it’s about how you make them feel in yours.
True love is other-centric, enduring, strengthened and prolonged with every act of thoughtfulness and selfless giving.
We created The Ahava Project in November of 2024. Members of our organization have been personally affected by domestic violence, and know the strife that it can cause families. In the spirit of ahava, we wanted to give back to those in these difficult times, and provide relief however we can.
