The Light of Torah in Beit Shemesh

A Message from the Rosh Kollel

It has always been my Zechus to be part of this exceptional group of Amalei Torah, known not only for their learning but also for their outstanding Middos Tovos.

Located in a new neighborhood in Eretz Yisroel—truly a “kingly palace”—we are privileged to be its devoted occupants, living as the King desires.

While I am proud to serve as the technical caretaker of this Makom Torah, the financial burden is heavy. I turn to you with a heartfelt request for support in sustaining this vital mission.

In the Zechus haTorah, may you be blessed with Bracha, Hatzlacha, and abundant Nachas.

May we merit to rejoice together in the coming of Mashiach and the Kibbutz Galuyos, speedily in our days.

With deep appreciation,

Moshe Oustatcher

About

Over twenty years ago, the first families moved into Ramat Beit Shemesh Alef, many of them devoted Avreichim immersed in Torah study, and to support them, Kollel Ohr HaTorah was established with just ten exceptional Yungerleit. The Kollel quickly grew, and today many of its original members are respected Rabbanim and Maggidei Shiur. As Beit Shemesh expanded to include Ramat Gimmel, Daled, and Hey, we opened new branches to serve the next generation of amalei Torah from top Israeli yeshivos. Our Yungerleit are known for their diligence, humility, and derech eretz, creating a strong Kol Torah that leaves a lasting impression. Over time, Kollel Ohr HaTorah has earned widespread respect throughout the community.

About

עץ חיים היא למחזיקים בה
ותומכיה מאושר

{משלי ג׳ י״ח}
We have already completed several Masechtos, including: מסכת שבת, עירובין, פסחים, ביצה, מועד קטן, חגיגה, יבמות, כתובות, בבא קמא, בבא מציעא, שבועות, ע”ז וחולין. We regularly share chaburos of chiddushei Torah and hear inspiring words from the Rosh Kollel, who often delivers deep thoughts of mussar and chizuk, and invites esteemed talmidei chachamim to give shiurim and mussar shmuzen. As the Kollel grew, local support was no longer enough. Our devoted Rosh Kollel has worked tirelessly for the constant upkeep of this institution, ensuring stipends were never missed; recently, however, the financial strain has increased.

We turn to you with a heartfelt request to partner in the vital mitzvah of Hachzokas haTorah in Eretz Yisroel.

אמר הקב"ה לאדם, נרי בידך ונרך בידי, נרי בידך זו התורה, ונרך בידי זו הנפש. אם שמרת את נרי, אני משמר את נרך.
