the living roots in Torah

Hachi'im walk the delicate line of honoring plurality when interpretating the Torah and other holy texts while acting with conviction in regards to our own.

the roots of hachi'im

The hashurshim are the roots of hachi’im—foundational principles drawn from Torah and nourished by ongoing revelation.

old seeds, new growth

Ancient texts continuously provide new interpretations, showing how the same seeds sprout different plants each sowing.

these five principles are the substrate facilitating new growth in Abraham's Covenant

prophetic parity

No prophet, text, or institution holds final authority.
Revelation belongs to the community, not a single voice.

emergent revelation

Truth emerges through interaction—between people, texts, experience, and the Divine.
Revelation is iterative, communal, and self-correcting.

presence over precedence

A living God demands a living relationship.
We prioritize what God reveals now over what institutions declared then.

etz avrahami

The Torah, Gospels, Qur’an, mystic traditions, and personal revelation all grow from one root.
We study the whole Tree, not just one branch.

the devarim dilemma

We honor the Torah’s twin commands:

reject false prophets
accept new prophets

ha'anafim

All explorations of Abraham's Covenant are considered Jewish lit by Hachi'im, with no single Text canonized as a singularly correct expression of the Divine. These are core branches growing from Torah.
