 The Avreichim of the Kollel Chatzot (כולל חצות) of Beitar Illit, Israel,
learn from midnight, through the night, all year long.
They push sleep away from their eyes
to take advantage of these precious hours. Torah learning at this
opportune time has the merit of drawing heavenly mercy and annuling evil
decrees from Klal Yisroel and particularily from those toiling in the holy
Torah during this time. This we learn from Kabbalistic and Chassidic teachings
as well as Mussar thought; yet seems to have been already well known to
David Ha-Melech, whose fiddle used to be hanging over his bed to wake him
up at midnight to study Torah as the northern wind played through
its strings (Talmud/Brochos 3b). The many Yeshuos (miraculous salvations
- ישועות) stories, from Zara Chaya V'Kayama (fertility) to Refuah (health - רפואה),
from Shidduchim (matching - שידוכים) to Parnoso (livelihood - פרנסה)
heared again and again from the Avreichim and those for whom the study was
dedicated, are living testimonies to the blessing drawn from the Torah learning
at midnight.
By sponsoring their learning, you become a full partner with them, gaining the merit of having learned during the holy nighttime hours.
Your donation can sponsor their learning for a night, a week, a month or a year, sharing in their reward, and bringing increased Kedushah to the world.
As we learn in Chutzos Damesek, "He who cannot rise at midnight should support one who does rise, and he will have a share in the learning."

Rosh Kollel |
The Kollel (כולל) was founded in 5761 (2001) by HaRav Yehoshua Meir Deutsch. Today, the Kollel is an illustrious group of more than 60 righteous scholars who reduce their sleep and their comfort to give nachas ruach to H-shem on behalf of Am Yisrael.
Our supporters are our partners. They receive ample portions of the merit of the Kollel's learning. It is written that the merit of one who learns during the hours of chatzos, applies equally to those who support such learning, as in a Yissachar/Zevulun arrangement.

"כְּשֶׁמַּגִּיעַ שְׁעַת חֲצוֹת לַיְלָה הַמַּלְאָךְ הַמְמֻנֶּה לְהַכְרִיז עוֹמֵד וּמַכְרִיז שֶׁהִגִּיעָה שְׁעַת רָצוֹן, וּפוֹתְחִים אֶת הַפְּתָחִים שֶׁל שַׁעֲרֵי שָׁמַיִם וְשֶׁל גַּן עֵדֶן כְּדֵי לְהַכְנִיס בָּהֶם אֶת הַתְּפִלּוֹת שֶׁל בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָז הקב"ה מִשְׁתַּעְשֵׁעַ עִם נִשְׁמוֹת הַצַּדִּיקִים בְּגַן עֵדֶן. אַשְׁרֵי חֶלְקוֹ שֶׁל מִי שֶׁמִּתְעוֹרֵר מִשְּׁנָתוֹ בְּאוֹתוֹ הַזְּמַן וְעוֹסֵק בַּתּוֹרָה וְנִקְרָא חֲבֵרוֹ שֶׁל הקב"ה וּכְנֶסֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁהִיא הַשְּׁכִינָה. " (זוהר הקדוש ויקרא כב )
