The Baal Shem Tov Had A Gemara We Don’t Have
פתח באכסניא של תורה
He got it from Shabbos
The guest in your home
Brings you Torah associated with him
Even if he’s not a tzaddik
Or a talmid chochom
Or even Jewish
Avrohom Avinu launched two millenia of Torah
By way of vigilant hosting
Avrohom Avinu Created
A world all his own
יצירה
Independence incarnate
Converted men to Judaism
Have no shevet
Will never have one
Sons of Avrohom
מי יתן טהור מטמא
לא אחד
Avrohom is the only Av with an aleph
The aleph of ישראל
Stone of independence
You might belong to a shevet
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.
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.
