Who We Are

For the children of Uman

Every gift is for the children: scholarships so they can stay in Talmud Torah, food and warmth so they can learn without fear, teachers and books so they can grow into serious students — and, with Hashem's help, into the next generation of Torah scholars in Uman.

Friends of Keter Torah is a registered non-profit devoted to the children of Uman — boys and girls who deserve a real chance to learn Torah, grow in character, and become something great. We exist so a child is never turned away because a family cannot pay tuition, buy books, or keep a student in school. Through scholarships, daily learning, prayer, and care for needy families, we help establish a stronger bond of identity throughout our Jewish community — sharing pride in our past and an untiring commitment to the next generation.

Mesibat Chumash at Keter Torah

These are the children. A Mesibat Chumash — the day a boy begins the Five Books of Moses — is what scholarships and daily learning make possible.

Our Students

Children growing in Torah and character

Students learn Torah, pray daily, and develop middot — character, spiritual sensitivity, and a sense of community — in the atmosphere of Breslov in Uman. Your gift is a scholarship, a Chumash, a meal, and a reason a child can stay in class.
