Donate: Kollel Chatzos

Inaugurating him into Torah

The day of a 3-year-old boy's upsherin is documented in holy seforim as time when the Heavens are wide open for prayers for the boy's spiritual growth and development into a devout, scholarly Jew.

Performing the Chalakah at the gravesite of Reb Shimon Bar Yochai is also a hallowed tradition among Jews of all communities. This makes Kollel Chatzos a uniquely fitting envoy of any family celebrating an upsherin.

When you support Kollel Chatzos, our Meron scholars who toil in Torah on a nightly basis and fulfill the holy words of Reb Shimon Bar Yochai in the Zohar align their prayers with your simcha. There is no greater investment in your child's erliche future than supporting Kollel Chatzos on the very day your young boy is inaugurated into the world of Torah.

For the truest form of the tradition, send us your child's hair. Our Meron representatives will cast it into the fire at Reb Shimon gravesite.

It's true. Behind every bakasha, there is a story. And a person. And a heart– hoping, dreaming, davening, and yearning. We're not just davening for you. We're partnering together. Tell us more about your request, so our talmidei chachamim can be true partners in making your yeshua a reality.

upsherin Start Him Off Right "There is a worthy minhag to give tzedakah to talmidei chachmim on this day as a zechus for the child to grow up to be a talmid chacham; it is a segulah to weigh the hair and donate the amount in gold or silver to talmidei chachamim." (סגולות ישראל)
