The kollel provides a warm and serious environment where a Ba’al Teshuva can come and continue growing at his own pace and at his own level. We provide a carefully structured program of shiurim, vaadim, workshops, and mentorship which will enable them to develop into true Bnei Torah. The kollel provides a carefully structured program geared to the specific needs of Ba’alei Teshuva. In addition, we have created a Rabbinic Advisory Board so that each member of the kollel will have a mentor to guide him and his family through these formative years. Toras Dovid is part of a network which works on helping young families find a place in a community suited to them. When a family is ready to move on and settle down, their potential for success will be maximized by the assistance they will receive from the kollel in finding the appropriate place to live and in transitioning smoothly and naturally into a Jewish community. In addition, the Kollel yungerleit are put into leadership positions where they give back by learning with new Ba’alei Teshuva at Ohr Somayach, Monsey, solidifying their self-assurance and building their leadership skills. The Kollel has formed a ‘Neshei Toras Dovid’ in which the kollel wives get together for events, shiurim and workshops. This provides an opportunity for the women to forge friendships, while simultaneously infusing them with guidance and a sense of community.

SeferAI answers your questions about Jewish texts with a study that cites its sources. Ask about a verse, a sugya, a holiday or an idea, in English, Hebrew, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian or Ukrainian. SeferAI searches about 4 million passages of Sefaria's library - Tanakh, Talmud, Midrash, Halakhah, Kabbalah, Chasidut, responsa and commentary - and writes a structured answer in your language. Every claim links to the original text, so you can check it. LISTEN Turn an answer into a narrated podcast episode. Follow your private feed in any podcast app, or listen on Apple Watch without your phone. STUDY With Ultra-Premium: two-voice conversational episodes, flashcards, quizzes, mind maps and study guides drawn from your answer. THIS WEEK The Torah panel shows this week's parashah, the daf yomi, the Hebrew date and the coming holidays. Tap any of them to ask about it. HONEST ABOUT TRANSLATION When a quotation is translated by AI rather than taken from a published translation, the answer says so. Sefaria's own German, French and Portuguese translations are quoted directly. SeferAI is an independent study tool built on Sefaria's open library. Its syntheses are written by AI: they are study aids, not halakhic rulings. Asking and reading are free. A free account keeps your studies private and makes podcasts. Premium and Ultra-Premium add premium narration voices, full-length episodes and the study tools.
