“B’koach segulas ner chanuka.” As klal Yisrael waits for Chanukah to illuminate their lives with bracha and yeshua, Kollel Chatzos’s legendary hasmada and mesirus nefesh for Torah reaches new heights. “Ashrei ayin ra’asa kol eila…” Enter a Chatzos Kollel center, take note of the full beis medrash, and marvel how the learning continues throughout these heilige nights—with the same consistency and intensity as every other night. While conflicting Chanukah obligations often infringe on learning schedules, at Kollel Chatzos the opposite rings true. The elevated talmidei chachamim delve into the ohr haTorah with exceptional dedication and joy.

Kollel Chatzos staff members report: “Preparations for the monumental Evening of Appreciation for the Kollel Chatzos Wives are in full swing. We recognize that behind every great man stands a great woman. The ongoing aliya of our chashuve kollel yungerleit is only a result of the kollel wives’ self-sacrifice and unswerving commitment. These women deserve credit for the tremendous limud haTorah—and the many yeshuos wrought through this Torah learning. We hope that this year’s evening will present an enriching program to accord these noble women with their due recognition and inspire them with the strength to continue to be there for their husbands.”

Hanosen Matana L’chavero: Kollel Chatzos Partners Receive a Special Gift

On 12 Kislev, the yahrtzeit of the holy Bas Ayin, zy”a, kollel yungerleit davened on behalf of all Kollel Chatzos partners at the Bas Ayin’s kever. This was the kollel’s way of expressing appreciation to their partners worldwide. While the tziyon is always renowned as a source of yeshuos, tefillos recited there on the day of the Bas Ayin’s yahrtzeit are particularly potent. May these tefillos ascend heavenward and bring forth a bounty of goodness for all the dedicated kollel partners.

Tziyon shel Chashmonaim

In these auspicious Chanukah days, when the Torah ohr warms every Yiddishe heart with a longing to come closer to Torah, many individuals are inspired to commit to a partnership with the Torah learning of the esteemed Kollel Chatzos talmidei chachamim for the heilige Chanukah nights. In addition, on the night of Zos Chanukah, the talmidei chachamim will recite special tefillos and segulos so that these sponsors will merit a lichtige year.

This year, the hanhala of the kollel presented a special offer to all Chanukah patrons: tefillos will be recited upon their behalf by the heilige kevarim of the Chashmonaim in Modi’in. May these special tefillos at this special place in this special time be the catalyst for an abundance of yeshuos and brachos.
