Wherever I Go I’m Traveling To Eretz Yisrael
Puzzling thing for Rabbi Nachman to say
He traveled throughout his life
With only one voyage to Israel
וילך משה
To parts unknown
Like Avraham Avinu in לך לך
Before he ordained Shachris
Torah is called דרך
Transports us to תפלה
Torah surges out of ציון
To stationary תפלה
Which aims us back to Israel
On holy days we stand in shul
And Amalek’s okay with that
Just please don’t learn
Don’t drink and drive
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.
