Kollel Yetev Lev Ltd

Kollel Yetev Lev Ltd is a UK-registered charity, incorporated in 2020 and charity-registered in March 2022, dedicated to providing grants and loans to alleviate poverty and financial hardship among individuals, while advancing the Orthodox Jewish religion worldwide in accordance with the Code of Jewish Law. Led by trustees including Chair Yisroel Moishe Cik and under the spiritual guidance of Harav Binyomin Ollech Shlita, it embodies traditional Orthodox Jewish values, emphasizing Torah study, religious observance, and communal welfare. Its distinctive, relational approach prioritizes strengthening Orthodox Jewish networks through targeted support for synagogues, kollelim (advanced Talmudic study centers), religious education, and direct aid to children, youth, elderly, and families in need, particularly in areas like Salford and Manchester.

The funder supports poverty relief, emergency financial aid, Orthodox Jewish education/training, and community infrastructure, focusing on grassroots initiatives that uphold halachic standards and promote religious life. Beneficiaries are primarily within the Orthodox Jewish community, with activities including grants to individuals in acute distress and established religious organizations.

Eligible applicants must be UK-registered charities serving the Orthodox Jewish community, with a preference for small to medium-sized, community-based entities in England (especially Orthodox population centers), though worldwide alignment is possible. Unsolicited applications are not accepted—funding is invite-only via trusted networks, with rolling trustee decisions and no public deadlines or forms.

Typical grants range from a few hundred to several thousand pounds, based on recent distributions exceeding £122,000 annually; no core, capital, or unrestricted funding is evident. Exclusively for Orthodox Jewish causes, it avoids general welfare, distinguishing itself through strict religious adherence, network-driven selection, and dual focus on material relief and spiritual advancement.
