Kollel Chatzos Prepares for Chanukah

(Courtesy of Kollel Chatzos) The nights of Chanukah twinkle with a special glow.

On eight otherwise-ordinary winter weeknights, you gather around the candles and sing and dance and infuse our nights with holiness and elevation. You gaze at those little flames, stretched upward, seeming to implore, reach a little higher. And on these sparkling nights, you’re inspired to do more, to be more. You long to make your every night become something more than the ordinary, to make every night glow like these Chanukah nights.

And you think of those upstanding talmidei chachamim of Kollel Chatzos who merit to imbue every night—not just the Chanukah nights—with aliyah and Torah and kedusha. And you’re jealous, somewhat, of their ability to connect and to come close and to accomplish big things, night after night.

But then you think of the message of Chanukah. That every Yid, in every galus, has the opportunity to join Hashem’s chosen army and become a responder to the call of “Mi LaShem Eilai.” And you decide, “I, too, want to have a part of this special zechus. I, too, want to partake in this momentous zechus of all-night limud haTorah.”

You can do it.

Kollel Chatzos invites Yidden worldwide to receive a share in the ohr haTorah of the Chanukah nights and partner with their limud haTorah.

Kollel Chatzos knows that this Yom Tov of light sometimes highlights the dark difficulties of our realities. It sometimes underscores how desperately Yidden are waiting for yeshuos. And Kollel Chatzos realizes limud haTorah’s tremendous koach to bring forth yeshuos. Especially on Zos Chanukah, when the chasima is about to be finalized and Yidden have one last chance to inscribe themselves for yeshuos and brachos.

So, on the night of Zos Chanukah, the talmidei chachamim will daven in eight mekomos of tefilla and pierce shaarei shamayim on behalf of the kollel partners who are waiting for a yeshua. These mekomos include the kever of the Chashmonaim in Modiin, Rabbi Yonason ben Uziel in Amuka, Rabi Shimon bar Yochai in Meron, and the Arizal in Tzfas.

You can join them.

While people are usually preoccupied during Chanukah with extra family obligations and gatherings, the Kollel Chatzos talmidei chachamim are awake throughout the Chanukah nights with the same commitment as usual. Actually, these nights are imbued with an extra fervor—in honor of the holy Yom Tov and the many esteemed partners.
