The KOTU Centre – A Legacy of Transformation & Unity
What is "KOTU"?
"KOTU" stands for "King Of The Universe," the English translation of the Hebrew phrase "מלך העולם" (Melech HaOlam). This name took on profound significance following the extraordinary success of the Melech HaOlam Project—a prophetic experience that played a pivotal role in bringing the long-awaited rains back to Israel after a 30-year drought. This project served as a powerful testament to the immense impact of even the smallest refinements in the way we pronounce our blessings.
The KOTU Centre – A Spiritual Home in Jerusalem
In 2012, I established my home on Betzalel Street in Nachlaot, Jerusalem, as what became known as The KOTU Centre. It quickly transformed into a hub of spiritual connection, community, and Torah learning.
🔹 Shabbat Meals & Gatherings – Every week, I hosted and personally prepared meals for up to 25 guests, creating an environment of warmth and unity.
🔹 Weekly Torah Classes – Every Sunday night, I sponsored Torah shiurim from esteemed rabbis, drawing attendees from across Israel and around the world.
🔹 A Place of Miracles & Connection – Within the walls of The KOTU Centre:
✔ Three couples met at my Shabbat table and later married.
✔ Countless friendships and relationships were forged.
✔ Miraculous stories and life-changing experiences unfolded.
Don’t just take my word for it—read the heartfelt testimonials from those who were part of this incredible journey.
A Hub of Wisdom & Learning
The weekly Sunday night classes were led by the esteemed Reb Meir Elkabas, offering deep insights into Likutei Moharan by Rebbe Nachman of Breslov. In addition, The KOTU Centre hosted renowned Torah scholars, including:
✅ Rabbi Mendel Kessin
✅ Rabbi David Aaron
✅ Rabbi Avraham Arieh Trugman
✅ Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi
These events attracted thousands of eager participants, igniting a passion for Torah, self-discovery, and spiritual elevation.
A Sanctuary in Jerusalem
For nearly a decade, The KOTU Centre stood as the go-to destination in Jerusalem—a sanctuary of learning, connection, and love. Entirely self-funded, it flourished as a space where countless souls found inspiration and personal growth.
However, in 2021, unforeseen tragic events brought this journey to an unexpected pause.
But the vision has not ended.
