Bearing the name of SAINT VENERE RABBI HAIM COHEN (of Fez), DAAT HAIM is a Sephardic Talmudic institution of excellence created 28 years ago at the initiative and under the spiritual direction of Rav STEINMAN, great of the generation.
Established in Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the Jewish people, DAAT HAIM has since its creation enabled thousands of students, mostly from disadvantaged backgrounds, to receive high quality education and five years of training allowing them to become brilliant Talmudists and spiritual cadres qualified to meet the needs of modern communities.
DAAT HAIM is thousands of hours of study given every day to students carefully chosen, both for their intellectual capacities and for their human qualities.
These students are supervised by professors with a broad and deep knowledge of the Talmud and an understanding of human issues which enables them to transmit the values โโof Judaism to the youth of today. These teachers are deeply committed to the development of their students on a spiritual, intellectual and moral level.
DAAT HAIM is also social actions, helping thousands of needy families and sick children.
DAAT HAIM Institutions are licensed and recognized by the Israeli Ministries of Education, Worship, Social Affairs and Solidarity.
DAAT HAIM Institutions are supported by men and women grouped around the DAAT HAIM Association in France where the project was initiated and since then by donors in other countries.
DAAT HAIM needs your help.
It is your donations, donated 100%, that make life and growth possible with the help of Dโฆ. DAAT HAIM Institutions.
Our Holy TORAH is a tree of life for those who are attached to it. It is this wonderful form of association that has always allowed and will always allow our people, in their diversity, to remain united around the "Book of Books" carrying a universal message.
