driving directions to Aley-Adamot
Lozit is situated south of Bet-Shemesh. On road 38 drive south, pass EMEK HAELA and continue another 5 minutes until you reach a junction in which there is a sign directing right to “Li-On-Srigim”. Turn towards Srigim and drive on that road without entering Srigim. The winding road will take you to Ajur settlelment, pass by Ajur too and continue in the magnificent primordial landscape until you see Lozit on your right.
In the settlement, drive straight in the main street until you reach a basketball court after which you take a left. We are the second house on the right that is surrounded by a long Bamboo fence (infront of a purple house). You can park along the fence and enter. The meditation hall is on the lower ground.
