ABOUT

Among the world's most illustrious charities, Kollel Shomrei Hachomos of Reb Meir Baal Haness was established in 1852 by disciples of the saintly Chasam Sofer zt"l. With a total annual budget of over $13 million, the Kollel today is essentially a conglomerate of more than 20 different charity organizations all operating out of a single institutional framework. Serving as the virtual lifeline for thousands of impoverished families in the Eretz Yisroel, the Kollel provides financial relief and resources for every lifecycle event. The seniority and preeminence of the Reb Meir Baal Haness charity is a time-honored tradition in Klal Yisroel, handed down from father to son. The cherished stature of this tzeddakah continues today with the very same reverence and veneration as it did in the old country more than 160 years ago.
