Ohr Michael Chai has recognized that many young men dream of continuing their Torah education in the Holy Land but face financial burdens, so we created a program that funds their travel expenses. Known as the 'Air Yeshiva,' our organization is more than just a scholarship provider—we are a community dedicated to spiritual empowerment and growth.
We believe in the importance of Torah study as the foundation of a strong Jewish life.
We are dedicated to supporting the spiritual needs of the Jewish community in Queens by investing in its future leaders.
At the heart of our mission is the value of kindness—giving without expecting anything in return, simply to uplift another person.
We are fueled by the generosity of our donors, who ensure that financial constraints never stand in the way of spiritual growth.
At Ohr Michael Chai, we dream of a future where every young man who aspires to grow in Torah is empowered to do so without financial limitations. We envision a world where no student’s potential is left untapped due to the costs associated with pursuing Torah study in Israel. Our vision is not only about providing financial aid but also about creating a sustainable pipeline of spiritual leaders who will enrich the Jewish communities for generations to come.
We see a thriving global network of young men who have experienced the life-changing opportunity to study Torah in Israel, bringing back not only knowledge but a deepened commitment to Jewish values, leadership, and community service. Our ultimate goal is to cultivate future educators, rabbis, and lay leaders who will take what they have learned in Israel and apply it to strengthen and elevate Jewish life in their home communities.
By expanding our reach and deepening our support system, we envision a future where every student who wishes to study in Israel can do so with the full backing of their community. Our vision includes fostering partnerships with additional yeshivot in Israel and expanding our financial assistance programs to meet the growing demand.
Through these efforts, we aim to ensure that the next generation of Torah scholars not only thrives in Israel but returns home ready to lead, inspire, and contribute to the spiritual vitality of their communities.
In this future, Ohr Michael Chai will be a pillar of support for students and families alike, offering not only financial aid but also mentorship, career guidance, and spiritual resources. We will continue to stand by these students long after their time in yeshiva, helping them navigate their personal and professional paths while maintaining strong ties to Torah learning and community service.
At the heart of our vision is the belief that investing in Torah study today builds the leaders of tomorrow. We are driven by a dream of a Jewish community that flourishes with wisdom, integrity, and unity—where each student’s journey contributes to the growth and strength of our collective future.
Our mission is simple yet profound: to eliminate the financial barriers that prevent high school graduates from pursuing their Torah education in Israel. At Ohr Michael Chai, we believe that every young man with the desire to grow spiritually should have the opportunity to do so, regardless of financial circumstances. By removing the significant obstacle of travel expenses, we empower these students to immerse themselves in Torah learning without distraction.
Our goal is to open doors for students to attend top yeshivot in Israel—places where they can experience an unparalleled environment of Torah study, surrounded by dedicated scholars and teachers. We aim to facilitate their journey to the Holy Land, not just as a geographical location, but as a spiritual home that nurtures their growth and inspires their future.
But our commitment goes beyond just financial support. We believe in fostering personal development, character building, and community leadership. Through mentorship and guidance, we help these young men strengthen their connection to Jewish values, preparing them for a life rooted in Torah and mitzvot. Our vision is to cultivate future leaders who will return to their communities equipped with both deep Torah knowledge and the personal integrity needed to inspire and guide others.
By investing in their education and spiritual growth, we are investing in the future of our community. These young men will not only carry their learning into their own lives but will also become pillars of their communities, future educators, rabbis, and leaders. Our mission is to ensure that no financial burden stands in the way of this transformative experience, creating a ripple effect of positive change for generations to come.
