What is The KOTU Centre?

 

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.


Join Us in Rebuilding The KOTU Centre


The dream remains alive, and now is the time to restore and reopen The KOTU Centre in Jerusalem—continuing its legacy of transformation, unity, and healing.


🔹 Support the reopening by making a contribution.
🔹 Spread awareness and help share this vision with others.
🔹 Get directly involved and be part of this new chapter.


Together, we can bring The KOTU Centre back to life.

My five stars are well earned!

The KOTU Center brought a lot of people together around the joy of Shabbat. I have a lot of fond memories of those days, like the time that... well, you know... Forget it. You had to be there, and if you want to be there, the KOTU center has to be there first. So support the KOTU center by rating and reviewing, participating, and donating your time and your treasure if requested!

Zerach is an inspiring host. I've enjoyed his Shabbat meals for many years. The classes featured renowned rabbis and were very well organized, recorded for later review, and in a pleasant environment.

The KOTU Centre holds a truly special place in my heart. It was within these walls that my wife and I found each other at Zerach's warm Shabbat table. Attending the classes was an absolute delight, every moment a treasure trove of learning and growth. Zerach's dedication was unwavering, his words of Torah ignited the spirits of thousands who shared in his meals. These gatherings, open to all without exception, provided solace and connection. I recall meals with as many as 30 guests, each one leaving a lasting memory. The absence of the KOTU Centre is deeply felt in Jerusalem, and I earnestly hope for its revival, for it fills a void that yearns to be embraced once more.

B"H I'm grateful as I reminisce about the KOTU Center in Jerusalem, a place where I attended Shabbat meals and engaging classes!

Zerach is a wonderful person and chef, preparing remarkable dishes i.e. Curry Gefilte fish. His welcoming demeanor and hospitality makes everyone feel at home and everyone is always welcome. As I write reflecting on these cherished memories I pray B"H is finding Zerach a perfect location for the KOTU Centre, for you and others connecting with "Yiddishkite" like me, experiencing a Closer Communion with Hashem the
