KOLEL KAALEV

The Kalever Rebbe of Williamsburg

A unique Chassidic Rebbe, a unique Jew and a unique human being. For 40 years, he has traveled across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa - personally touching the lives of well over 100,000 Jews – religious and non-religious. 80% of his time -- 32 years -- has been away from home. Shabbosim and weeklong stays enable him to give chizuk and Yiddishkeit to Yiden

4 years ago, struck with ALS - but through technology, ‘speaks’, communicates & leads with his eyes.

The Kalever Kollel –

The Rebbe’s Personal Mitzvah Project

One special project for which he has taken total personal responsibility – Torah learning at the Kalever Kollel in Williamsburg.

• The Rebbe always advocated for the mastery of Torah and lovingly developed and nurtured a place of incredible inspiration.

• 100 avreichim chashuvim (advanced scholars) study the holy folios of Torah day and night with incredible drive and diligence.
• For all the years, the Rebbe took personal care of meeting the monthly payroll and upkeep – an annual budget of $500,000. It was always his special mitzvah, and he was mindful that the monthly stipends supported 100 families. The Kalever Kolel, avreichim knew that they were always paid on time.

Today the Rebbe’s Eyes Seek Out Partners

Unfortunately, due to his medical condition, the Rebbe can no longer fulfil this responsibility. Thus, today many are joining him as partners in this vibrant center of Torah and Yir’a.

 It would have been the cruelest blow of all, after such dedication and sacrifice, for this important center of Torah to have to close. A committee was set up, to assume the responsibility of raising the funds and to relieve the Rebbe of this pressure and worry. Please join us and become full partners with the holy Rebbe’s mission, and share fully in the zchus (merit) of the learning and the Torah of the avreichim.
