Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Netiv Aryeh and
the Rav of The old city

Nasi of the Kollel and Head of the Bais Horaah Haklali Yerushalayim
In this Kollel, outstanding students are diligently immersed in Torah study. If I had not seen it, I would not have believed how they are so fluent in all they learnt. They constantly get tested on what they learn, and their Yiras Shamayim precedes their wisdom. They are certainly destined to become Morei Horaah.
It is a great mitzvah to support with generosity and open-handedness to assist in strengthening the Kollel.

Head of the Kehilot Yaakov Beis Din

Av Beis Din Darchei Torah and
Rabbi of the Ramot Neighborhood in Jerusalem.
I want to compliment the supporters of the Kollel, it’s a great Zechus, it’s a great Kollel, and to partake in the Binyan Hatora, in supporting Ameiley Tora and Baaley Halacha is a tremendous Zechus, and because of this Mitzva you should only have Nachas Shefa and Simcha.

Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rishon L’tziyon
In Kollel Lihoraah Yerushalayim they don’t simply study Torah, but rather they have attained the highest level in bringing the Torah to its practical application. A Posek is even greater than a Rosh Yeshiva! The wonderful contributors who have the merit to support the Kollel members have a special portion and are very lucky. This is your Zechut. In this merit you will have more success in your business. Instead of earning one million dollars you will make a billion. You will have blessing and much success in all your endeavors. It is a great mitzvah to support with generosity and open-handedness to assist in strengthening the Kollel.
