Who we are

AHAVA is a public benefit company (Israeli "chalatz") dedicated to making the knowledge and practice of contextual behavioral therapy accessible in Israel. We believe human behavior can only truly be understood within its context — the environment, relationships, personal history and values of each person. The organization holds professional events, trainings and study days, and curates resources in Hebrew and English for therapists, professionals and the general public.

Joining the AHAVA community

AHAVA is built from within the community — and for it. Membership (annual fee: 150 ILS) grants discounts to events including the annual conference, access to members-only events, and an invitation to take part in the organization's committees and activities. ACBS members receive a discount on the fee.
