Illuminating Torah Across the World
Whether it is Baalei Teshuva, Yeshiva graduates or simply those seeking to cover as much ground in as little time as possible, there is a tremendous thirst for advanced Torah texts in the English language. To meet this ever-increasing demand, Rabbi Asher Zelig Eisenberg, of blessed memory, founded the Ohr Olam Institute. His primary goal was to bring about Zikui HaRabbim by encouraging the learning of contemporary Jewish Law and other texts and making them available to Jews of all streams of life. Sadly, Rabbi Eisenberg passed away in the midst of establishing his enterprise, and we see it as our obligation and responsibility to turn his dream into reality. We have therefore assembled a team of accomplished Torah scholars, skilled editors and talented graphic artists to produce volumes that are as pleasing to the eye and easy to read as they are accurate in conveying the eternal truth of the Torah.
