Hashem Talks To Us Through His Torah
We respond with our tefila
Neglecting Torah learning
Renders tefila abominable
מסיר אזנו משמוע תורה
גם תפלתו תועבה
On the 17th of Tamuz
Torah learning is broken
Three weeks later, our House Of Tefila
Comes crashing down
On the 9th of Av
A new tefila is introduced
Compensation
קינות = תיקון
Why is there no new learning introduced
On the 17th of Tamuz
To compensate for our loss of learning?
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.
