Eishes Chayil

Her home is safe from snow.

Torrential rain, hurricane, termites, I hear those.

Why does snow seem to be the primary threat to a home?

Shabbos Shalom

Noam Elimelech Mishpatim

וזהו "לכלב תשליכון אותו", דבזמן שבית המקדש היה קיים היה מזבח מכפר ועכשיו שולחנו של אדם מכפר עליו. ואיתא בגמרא שאש הבא מן השמים על המזבח היתה רבוצה כארי, ואחר שחטאו היתה רבוצה ככלב, דהיינו שהקליפה טרפה הכל, ואמר הכתוב הוי זהיר באכילתך שיהיה בקדושה, והגשמי שבתוך אכילה תשליך מרחוק להכלב, כמו עשן המערכה, ואל

Open teaching

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.
