Students at Rabbi Abadi's Kollel receive an annual stipend of $7,200 to help defray living expenses. Your support will enable these bright young students to become future Torah scholars and community rabbis. Why not give today to provide a better future for all of Israel.

Your support for Rabbi Yitzhak Abadi fuels the continued education of future torah scholars at the forefront of orthodox halachic interpretation based on deeply rooted traditions and methods of study.

As a young man of 17, Rabbi Abadi was sent to Lakewood Yeshiva by the saintly Chazon Ish, z"l, to study under the guidance of the great Torah scion Rabbi Aharon Kotler, z"l. Rabbi Abadi soon became one of Rav Aharon's closet talmidim who spent Pesach sedarim at Rav Aharon's home along with Rav Aharon's immediate family, including Rav Schneir Kotler, z"l. Shortly after Rabbi Abadi married, Rav Aharon personally ordained Rabbi Abadi and instructed his students to seek halachic guidance from Rabbi Abadi.

After Rav Aharon's death, Rabbi Abadi emerged as the leading posek for the entire Lakewood community and had the final say on all halachic issues. Rabbi Abadi branched out on his own in 1980, opening a premiere halacha kollel in Lakewood. In 1993, Rav Abadi transferred his kollel to Har Nof, Jerusalem, where it continues to this day in producing fine young poskim who are trained to decide halachic question touching on every aspect of Jewish law.

Your tax-deductible donation, which goes entirely to the kollel without any deduction or commission paid for collection, perpetuates the torah study the Chazon Ish and Rav Aharon Kotler set in motion nearly fifty years ago, and enables Rabbi Abadi to continue his holy work on behalf of the entire Jewish nation.
