From the deepest pit To the highest rooftop

"I thank

and praise the Creator who saved me in His great mercy from the deepest pit. My message is to all who wish to gain greater closeness to G-d: “This world is like the seashore, where we put up buildings, bridges, everyone’s building, everyone wants to get ahead, to achieve, to conquer. But never forget: one wave can wipe it all out. This is why you must try to grasp [onto G-d’s wisdom] to your maximum ability, to come ever closer, to become stronger, to do all you can to glorify and sanctify G-d’s great name.”

Rabbi Menachem Edri’s
personal story

My story has already gained attention in Israel and abroad, bringing countless others to repentance and reconnecting to eternal life through their return to G-d’s ways.
I started out from the lowest of all places: it was a harsh neighborhood where many turned to criminal activities. 
Now, thank G-d, I actively head an evening men’s seminary (Yeshiva) for young adults on the path to repentance or others who have begun the process of returning to a Torah life on their own. BEN ISH CHAI Yeshiva is located in Jerusalem and operates across Israel via LIVE classes, restoring countless individuals to the path of Torah. 
If I could do it, so can you, with G-d’s help.

Donations and Tithes

This is your chance to take part in Rabbi Edri’s work to glorify Torah, and come closer to the G-d of Israel and our forefathers.
Even the smallest of donations can become a link in the long chain of generations marching forward in faith in G-d and reverence for G-d’s Torah.

Tikkunim

Prayers of Rectification for Wrongdoings
The Gemarra and the Zohar clearly state that opportunities exist for correcting our sinful action. Rambam (Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon, prolific 12th century Torah exegetic and commentator) presented the situation in a summary of Jewish law:
“For [actions requiring] death as the punishment meted out by a jury of our fellows there is no repentance, nor does Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) atone for them until one has agonized over them.”
Severe wrongdoings such as not observing the days of purity, sexual relations with another married woman, having an abortion, and more, cannot be atoned for other than on Yom Kippur.
This is why the holy Ben Ish Chai (Rabbi Yosef Chaim, 19th century Torah scholar and Kabbalist) basing on the Holy Ari (Rabbi Isaac Luria, 16th century Kabbalist, expounder of the Zohar) instituted ways of “medicating the illness” through prayers of rectification for our souls in this world and the world to come. The Ari is quoted in the book, Etz Hachaim, which explains that “one who did not conduct the rectifications and dies most certainly causes the soul to reincarnate and conduct itself again in this world.” This is why it is incumbent on every Jew to carry out these rectifications which can open channels of blessings and success.
The Tikkunim (Rectification Prayers) may variously include fasting, wearing sackcloth, reading psalms, Mishna, Zohar, and lighting candles.
