Rabbi Eliyahou Quedoshim envisioned creating a Kollel where each person would have the proper environment to develop into a future leader of various communities. Our plan is to form a strong group, starting from 12 devoted married young men (avreichim) who spend the day mastering various subjects in Halacha (jewish law) focusing on the sefaradic custom.

This in depth study starting from the source in the Talmud throughout the Tur and Shulchan Aruch, and contemporary Poskim would provide the Avreichim (students) with the necessary knowledge enabling them to reach definitive Halachic conclusions.

We started a Smicha program (program of learning towards achieving Rabbinic diploma) covering very practical day to day subjects such as

•⁠ ⁠ Basar v’chalav (laws of dairy

and meat)

•⁠ ⁠ Taarovot (laws of general

mixtures of kosher food and

non kosher food)

•⁠ ⁠ Bishul Akum and Pat Akum

(foods ,cooked or baked by a

non jew)

•⁠ ⁠ Kashering of utensils and

immersing them into the mikve

•⁠ ⁠Laws of family purity

•⁠ ⁠Laws of Shabbat and more

The students will be taking exams by the halachik authorities of the famous Lakewood Yeshiva, Beth Medrash Govoha (B.M.G). And eventually receiving Semicha (Rabbinic diploma). Such a program would engage the student for an intense 5 years learning.

The Kollel is led by Rabbi Eliyahou Quedoshim. R’ Quedoshim studied in his younger years at Yeshiva of Montreal under the guidance of Rabbi Altusky shlita. After he got married, he learned in Lakewood Yeshiva (B.M.G). Then he joined a Halacha Kollel at Kollel Bnei Torah under the guidance of Rabbi Lefkowitz Shlita. He received semicha from B.M.G and Rabbi Heinman Shlita of Baltimore. He then served as the Rabbi of Kehillat Tov of Staten Island for ten years.

The Kollel is located in an existing Bet hamidrash in the midst of Lakewood N.J.

It is well understood that in order to allow this vision transform into a reality a large budget has to be maintained monthly, providing the students a stipend to enable them to devote themselves to their studies.

We call out to all who would like to share in this tremendous project building the future of Klal Yisrael.

It is a fact proven by history that only through the study of Torah is the guaranty of our precious heritage. תורה Like the passuk predicated The .צוה לנו משה מורשה קהילח יעקב

Torah that Moshe commanded us is the heritage of the congregation of Yaakov.

It is through the partnership and generosity of those who share the sense of purpose of Rabbi Quedoshim that the light shall emanate from this future Kollel and illuminate all of our supporters.

May the merit of supporting Torah, in a way that would provide the jewish communities with future leaders be a source of blessing in all your endeavors.
