'The essence of the Redemption depends upon learning Kabbalah…'

Welcome to the Kabbalistic Yeshiva on Mount Zion, Jerusalem
KingDavidKabbalah.com is the online portal to the work of Yeshivas Nefesh HaChaim. From our location on Mount Zion, Jerusalem, adjacent to the Tomb of King David, we bring authentic Jewish Kabbalah to the world under the auspices of Yeshivas HaTfutzos (Diaspora Yeshiva), the original yeshiva for ba’alei teshuva.
This page provides a summary of the various aspects of our work in the hopes that you will be inspired to partner with us in bringing the redemption by becoming a donor or renewing your support, and to share in the merit of our work, thereby.

Yeshiva and Kollel
KingDavidKabbalah.com is the online portal to the work of the Kabbalistic yeshiva and kollel Nefesh HaChaim, which teaches regular beginner to advanced level classes on authentic Jewish Kabbalah to students younger and older, in the place from which Yeshayahu HaNavi (the prophet Isaiah) says Torah will proceed to the entire world.
In reality, most students are not able to afford the cost of full-time learning, since they are dedicated to learning Torah. This means scholarships and stipends are also needed, a great opportunity for you to share in the merit of our learning!

Scholarships for Bachurim 1,200,000 NIS

Community Events
Yeshivas Nefesh HaChaim hosts regular Shabbatons and festive meals and celebrations for Chaggim and Yamim Tovim and other special days on the Jewish calendar, for yeshiva and kollel students and guests alike. These are spiritually refreshing, joyous occasions, full of Torah learning and rejoicing in the goodness of HaShem.
Your giving towards these events makes you our partner in the merit of this holy hospitality done in the Name of HaShem, considered to be one of the foremost Jewish values, and how much more when hosting Talmidei Chachamim.

Online Kiruv Efforts
In addition to the creation of original Kabbalistic works (see “Publishing” above), we are also engaged in ongoing efforts to promote and make these works available and to shine the light of authentic Jewish Kabbalah in general through KingDavidKabbalah.com and a variety of other third-party platforms, where we publish regular Kabbalistic articles, podcasts, and videos, and also interact with our followers, welcoming them and responding to questions and comments.
Our YouTube channel, for example, already includes thousands of Kabbalistic videos. The King David Kabbalah email newsletter keeps our email mailing list subscribers up-to-date, and content promotion efforts on various social media networks enables us to reach an ever-growing audience.
All of this requires a great deal of time and effort, as well as third-party services and fees. The support of our partners provides the financial means necessary for these efforts to succeed.
