About Kollel Dvar Shalom
In a beis medrash in central Yerushalayim sits the next generation of Klal Yisrael’s Rabbanim and Dayanim. Here, secluded in the hallowed halls of the yeshivah, removed from all distractions and mundane concerns of olam hazeh, they toil in limud haTorah, delve into halachah, and flourish into Torah luminaries and spiritual leaders of our nation.
Under the venerable auspices of Hagaon Harav Dov Halevi Horowitz, shlit”a, the Kollel endows the avreichim with both spiritual and material sustenance, priming them for greatness. The Kollel provides for the avreichim’s needs in all realms of life, beginning with a generous monthly stipend that allows them to support their families respectably and culminating with special bonuses for Yomim Tovim, births, and family simchas. The avreichim also benefit from the close and loving attention of the Rosh Kollel who lends a listening ear and is there to support them and their families and advise them in every realm of life, be in domestic, chinuch or even medical—with only one condition:
That they sit and learn day and night with the goal of developing into the talmidei chachamim and spiritual leaders of the next generation!
Here, in Kollel Dvar Shalom, we’re cultivating gedolei Torah!
A shining jewel in the Kollel’s crown is the individual attention that each avreich receives and the personal process of growth and empowerment that he undergoes in the course of his years of learning. Here in the Kollel, our avreichim absorb myriad tools along with the spiritual direction that they need to become a Rav and moreh halachah and to guide Klal Yisrael. Here in Kollel Dvar Shalom, our avreichim are more than just kollel students; each individual is handpicked as an exceptional talmid chacham with capacity, talents and potential to give of himself to the Torah world and contribute to the Klal.
The Kollel administration facilitates the avreichim not only during their years of learning in the Kollel, but also after they graduate and venture into the world of Rabbanus and Dayanus. With love and support, we escort them and help them obtain Rabbinical positions in highly-regarded communities around the globe.
Learning to Fulfill
The Kollel Administration invests great efforts into each individual avreich to ensure that he realizes his full potential in learning and utilizes his collective talents and skills to become a Rav and Posek in Klal Yisrael. The avreichim are challenged with comprehensive written and oral tests that cover all realms of Torah, with special focus on practical, daily halachah.
The rigorous program includes comprehensive tests, practicum, evening tours of eiruvin and mikvao’s and shimush Rabbanim. Throughout years of study and practice, they cover the broad spectrum of sugyos related to Rabbanus and Dayanus and develop into distinguished talmidei chachamim and Rabbanim.
Another impressive aspect of the Kollel is its written publications. Over the course of nearly two decades, Kollel members have compiled the monumental 12-volume series Dvar Shalom al HaShas, which encompasses a wide spectrum of halachic topics, all beautifully presented and clarified for the learner. This brilliant, eye-opening work is the product of years of combined effort by the Rosh Kollel and his avreichim and is powerful testimony to the sacred force of their Torah study.
The Kollel Family
Many of our avreichim are natives of chutz la’Aretz and have left family and material comfort behind to learn Torah, build their homes and raise families in Eretz Hakodesh. This group of outstanding bnei Torah benefits from extra support and assistance in all realms of life, especially around the Yomim Tovim, in times of simchas, and in chinuch.
Kollel Dvar Shalom is a family, and we want our avreichim to know that they are never alone. We make them feel at home, invite them for Shabbosos and Yomim Tovim, campaign to get their kids accepted into top yeshivos and schools, and help them resolve legal and bureaucratic issues that arise. We know that in Eretz Yisrael, we’re their family!
