Thank God For The Land Of Israel

Thank God For The Land Of Israel

And it’s ten levels of kedusha - קדשים

Chutz la’aretz has none - חולין

The posuk of seven species has ten words

The brocho on bread does too

It’s said while holding bread with your ten fingers

שאו ידיכם קודש וברכו את השם

Yeshivas Rashbi

Chatzos Kollels have become popular in recent years. Only the Zohar emphasizes the importance of this practice. It’s repeated there dozens of times.

 

With the haskama of Rav Moshe Shapiro zt”l I encourage people to learn this way themselves whenever possible.

 

When we can’t, next best is to sponsor someone who can. The ideal subject of learning after chatzos is Kabbala.

 

$1500 will sponsor a talmid chochom learning kabbala in Yeshivas Rashbi for a month.

Stealth Kollel

Twenty years ago a colleague in the Mir discovered a number of talmidei chachomim struggling financially who refused to receive tzedaka. He outsmarted them.

 

They were invited to join a Shabbos kollel paying them nicely for learning they were doing anyway wherever they want. Donors don’t know the recipients, and the recipients don’t even know they’re receiving tzedaka. This is the Stealth Kollel.

 

Stealthily supporting thirty world class talmidei chachomim learning in Yerushalayim. The most ideal form of tzedaka, as stipulated in Bava Basra 9a.

 

There are no expenses and no advertising. 100% tzedaka.

 

Sponsoring one avrech for a month is $1000. But donations of any size are warmly welcomed.
