It’s a celebration for the entire Klal Yisrael and especially for Boro Park. A new Kollel Chatzos is opening in Boro Park, bringing along with it the special siyatta d’Shmaya and berachah that the kollelim have already brought to communities across the globe.

Kollel Chatzos. It’s no longer just the name of a kollel. It represents a phenomenon. It’s an empire of talmidei chachamim to serve Hashem with Torah, ahavas Hashem, and mesirus nefesh as they learn throughout those pure night hours. It’s an empire built by devoted legions, dedicated supporters who shoulder the burden of the kollel with pride and joy. It’s an empire that’s an inspiration to every community blessed by its presence, as passersby who chance upon the kollel and hear the Torah, echoing vibrantly through the night, are awed and driven to partake.

Established five years ago, Kollel Chatzos was charged with a mission of “l’hachazir atarah l’yashna,” to reestablish the age-old beloved practice of learning from chatzos. In previous generations, even simple Yidden would awaken to serve Hashem at midnight.

Five years ago, a small group of stellar talmidei chachamim committed to the rigorous learning schedule, forming the core group of the original kollel. Eventually, the kollel flourished and established branches in Meron, Williamsburg, Kiryas Yoel, and Monsey–aiming towards the goal of establishing a kollel in every heimishe community.

For years, Boro Park residents longed for a kollel to call their own, so that they too can reap the shemirah and berachah that overflow from having a kollel within their midst. Today, as Kollel Chatzos works towards launching the Boro Park Kollel, the many requests of “Why not Boro Park?” will have a satisfactory answer: “We’re on our way!”

As soon as plans for the Boro Park Kollel started to formulate, Kollel Chatzos received requests from some of Boro Park’s most prestigious talmidei chachamim, rabbanim, and marbitzei Torah, asking to join the kollel, so that they can experience the special z’chus of learning throughout the night hours.

Hanhallas Kollel Chatzos invites all talmidei chachamim who wish to partake in the kollel to call the office as soon as possible, so that they too can have the opportunity to participate.

Kollel Chatzos has invested a lot of effort to find the proper setting for Torah learning and growth because an integral part of the hatzlachah of Torah is the “achsanya shel Torah.” Baruch Hashem, at last, a beautiful, spacious beis midrash was found, a most befitting place for the kollel to thrive.

In the past few days, Hanhallas Kollel Chatzos have been going around to the local rabbanim to accept their birkas haTorah in honor of the kollel’s inauguration. It was heartwarming to see the outpouring of chizuk and berachah that the rabbanim showered upon the Hanhallas Kollel Chatzos, thanking them for the opportunity to host such a special kollel in their midst and expressing esteem for the kollel’s great accomplishments of providing Hashem with such a nachas ruach throughout the auspicious night hours.

May Hashem rest His Shechinah in this new Torah embassy–just as Hashem has showered His berachah upon the other locations. May the z’chus of this Torah learning pour forth a shefa of berachah, refuah, and yeshuah.

“Chacham lev yikach mitzvos–The wise-hearted gather mitzvos.”

A request to the noble benefactors in Boro Park and in other cities: now you have the opportunity to acquire the z’chus of establishing a makom Torah, a rare opportunity of hachzakas haTorah with everlasting dividends. For more details, call the Kollel Chatzos office at 718-887-9114.
