Orchos Chaim mission statement
To teach and disseminate Torah and inspire young people who will become future spiritual and lay leaders in their Jewish communities.
To develop and engage in innovative kiruv projects that broaden and deepen Torah observance.
To reach out to young men who serve or seek to serve in the Israeli army, providing them with personal guidance, warm hospitality and Torah inspiration.
To lead the new Torah community of Givat Zev and to cultivate a warm and inclusive communal environment, and provide thoughtful, practical and compassionate personal rabbinic guidance and leadership.
Although we have evolved and changed over the years Orchos Chaim remains on the path upon which it was founded: bringing young Jewish people and families closer to Hashem and help improve their lives.
Our activities are included in three areas of focus: Torah, Kehila and Kiruv
Torah
The study of Torah has always been and remains to be the centre-piece and source of blessing for all of our activities. We have 15 outstanding avreichim from several different backgrounds learning in two distinct learning programs. One group focuses on the study of Choshen Mishpat along with all the relevant sources from the Talmud. The second group focuses upon the study of Orach Chaim and Yoreh Deiah. Many of these avreichim have expressed their appreciation for what Orchos Chaim has brought into their lives, a quality and depth of learning and hashkafah that they had never before experienced.
Kehilla
We have created a new community around the yeshiva that now looks to Orchos Chaim as the center of their daily life in avodas Hashem in addition to serving as a source of chizuk and inspiration in their personal lives. We are on the verge of finalizing our building plans for our new Beit Medrash, which we hope, will take place before Pesach.
Kiruv
We continue our one-of-a-kind outreach work with young men from the USA, UK, Australia, France and Canada who have serve in the Israeli army providing Torah shiurim, guidance and chizuk in addition to periodical Shabbatonim.

The Sanctuary Within
“And Hashem spoke unto Moses, saying: 'Speak unto the children of Israel, that they take for Me an offering; of every man whose heart makes him willing you shall take My offering.” (Shemot 25:1-2)
The Torah reading goes on to describe in detail the contributions of the Jewish people to construct the Mishkan (Tabernacle). The building of the Mishkan had monumental significance. It was designed to become the one and only dwelling place of the Shechina in this world...Read More
