Way To Go
Rabbi Nachman’s yahrtzeit is a day before that of the Vilna Gaon.
The parallel relationship of these two giants has been noted by talmidei chachomim.
Rabbi Nachman died in a state of utmost serenity.
Refused to intervene on his own behalf.
The Gaon cried on his deathbed, clutching his tztitzis.
ותנח התיבה בחודש השביעי כו׳. רמז שעיקר הוא לאדם לתקן את מעשיו בחודש השביעי הוא תשרי, ואז תפילתו רצוי יותר משאר ימות השנה כמו שדרשו חז"ל "דרשו ה׳ בהמצאו - אלו עשרת ימי תשובה", שאז הוא כח יותר השראת הקדושה, וזה "ותנח התיבה כו׳ בשבעה עשר יום לחודש", דהיינו לאחר שעברו ג"כ ימי החג שני

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.
