'Tiferet Zakenim Levi Yitzchak' - for all groups: In light of the growth of the national network of kollelim 'Tiferet Zakenim Levi Yitzchak', which was established by the Lubavitcher Rebbe in the pure memory of his father, the Kabbalist Rabbi Levi Yitzchak zt"l, it was decided at the 'Chabad Kollel' to open its doors to all groups.

At one of the gatherings, the Rebbe said the following about the establishment of the network of kollelim 'Tiferet Zakenim - Levi Yitzhak': "And I request, in every word of request, that those who hear do everything in their power so that the matter discussed here reaches the ears of all circles - for the matter belongs to and concerns every person, without distinction, and from every circle to which he belongs -

"That in every city, and even more so - in every synagogue (which, for some matters, is considered a city in itself), such a 'Beit Midrash' should be established."

In recent weeks, a special team at the kollel has prepared a national plan, with the aim of implementing the decision on the ground. The team met with kollel heads from all circles, ethnicities and neighborhoods, with the aim of integrating senior citizens into kollels designated for them.

The momentum in the network of kollels, "Tiferet Zakenim Levi Yitzhak," is the result of cooperation between the Chabad kollel and the Hasidic governor, Rabbi Levi Leviev, within the framework of which many new branches have been opened throughout the country in the past year.

"The new gospel constitutes another pillar in the dissemination of Torah and Hasidism in the cities of the Holy Land, and allows many pensioners a quality and enriching study framework in the morning hours," said Rabbi Shalom Duchman, director of the Chabad Kolel.
