On July 24, 1999, the Omaha World-Herald reported that
the Omaha Center for Torah Learning, a privately funded educational
institution that is part of the Kollel Torah MiTzion group, will open
on September 1st in Nebraska. Kollel Torah MiTzion is a
Jerusalem-based initiative that helps Jews outside of Israel to
create learning centers and recruit faculty. The first programs were
established in 1994 in Cleveland, Ohio and Cape Town, South Africa.
Now there are 22 programs in 8 countries, including 12 in the United
States. Along with Omaha, Syracuse, New York and Detroit, Michigan
will also be opening study centers with the help of Torah MiTzion.
These programs are open to all Jews at all levels of
knowledge.
