Shaarei Rachamim — the Gate of Mercy, Yerushalayim

The Morris M. Horowitz Kollel

Our Story

From a small Beis Medrash in Yerushalayim to a Bastion of Torah Learning across Eretz Yisrael —
Every. Single. Night.

An avreich learning

Humble Beginnings

Our story began over seven years ago, in a small basement Beis Medrash in Yerushalayim with a handful of dedicated Avreichim. The room buzzed with the vibrant energy of Torah study, echoing with the sounds of passionate debate, followed by the quiet murmur of our Maariv Tefillos. That modest Beis Medrash became the foundation of everything that followed.

From those first nights one conviction held firm: that the Fire of Torah should burn after dark, when the day is done and the world grows quiet. It has not stopped since.

Dynamic Growth

From these early stages, our Kollel has grown, driven by a shared commitment to deepening our understanding and living the values of the Torah. We have since moved to a new, beautiful Beis Medrash that better accommodates our increasing number of participants. Originally offering a single evening Torah Learning Program, we have broadened our educational outreach to include four distinct programs.

What began as a single evening seder in Yerushalayim is today a network of four Batei Medrashim — Yerushalayim, Beit Shemesh, Achisomoch, and Kiryat Sefer — with 45 Avreichim learning every night. Each branch carries the same standard: a world-class Rosh Kollel and a rigorous, halachah-focused curriculum. The whole network is guided by the Nasi HaKollel, Rav Yitzchok Menachem Blau Shlit"a, who personally travels to each branch on a weekly rotation.

Future Expansion

We dream of a Beis Medrash of our own — walls that belong to the Kollel, filled with the constant roar of Torah and Tefillah — and of carrying nightly learning to still more cities across Eretz Yisrael.
