AMIT ORG INC

AMIT is an organization and fund devoted to nurturing a new generation of Torah scholars: students and young scholars who combine rigorous, wide-ranging learning with genuine personal growth and a living connection to the world around them. AMIT operates the Nesivos Chaim Beit Midrash and a family of study programs, spanning the full breadth of Torah, from the depths of the Talmud and its commentaries to Halacha, Jewish thought, and the inner dimensions of the Torah, as taught by the Ramchal, the Vilna Gaon and his disciples, and the masters of Chassidut.

Spreading the light of Torah in its depth and its breadth, through an inner and authentic connection.

Every AMIT program rests on three foundations: education, excellence, and character. Together they shape scholars who are deeply rooted in the world of Torah, creative and diligent at the highest level, and connected to life and to reality.

We cultivate the student as a whole person, guiding him toward a mature, thoughtful, and responsible path within the world of Torah.

We demand and inspire diligence and creativity at the highest level. Our students do not merely absorb; they engage, question, and create.

Learning at AMIT shapes a person's character in the right way, drawing on a deep and expansive world of study while remaining connected to reality and to life.

The beit midrash operating under AMIT is Nesivos Chaim, known simply as “Nesivos.” It is named in memory of our revered teachers, HaGaon Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky zt”l and Rabbi Chaim Walkin zt”l, whose paths of Torah, diligence, and devotion continue to guide everything we do. Nesivos Chaim is home to AMIT’s core programs.

For young men ages 19–23, at the formative stage of their Torah life. Students build a strong foundation of knowledge and analytical skill in an atmosphere of intensity, warmth, and personal attention, while developing the habits of diligence and independent thought that will accompany them throughout life.

A program for young married Torah scholars dedicated to the study of the wide expanse of Torah, structured deliberately toward three goals: comprehensive knowledge, real depth, and a living, personal connection to the material. Participants emerge as scholars of broad mastery and clear vision, prepared to teach, to lead, and to decide.

Alongside its core programs, Nesivos Chaim offers a broad course of study in the depths of Jewish thought and the inner dimensions of the Torah, open to all frameworks of the beit midrash as well as to learners from outside who wish to join. The curriculum draws on the writings of the Ramchal, the Vilna Gaon and his disciples, and the great masters of Chassidut, guiding participants through these teachings with the same rigor, structure, and living connection that characterize all of AMIT's learning.

A rare collaboration between leading professors in science and technology and rabbis, dayanim, and roshei yeshiva. Together they confront the moral and ethical challenges posed by groundbreaking technology that is developing at an unprecedented pace, challenges that demand deeper and more realistic thinking than ever before about boundaries, responsibility, and the right way forward. Based in academia, the program brings Torah wisdom and scientific expertise into a serious, structured conversation.

AMIT is led by Rabbi Daniel N. Cohen, Rosh Yeshiva and head of the Nesivos Chaim Beit Midrash, who also directs the “Intersecting Paths” academic program. Under his leadership, the organization’s administration is overseen by its executive board, whose management is headed by Mr. Raphael Septimus and Rabbi Yitzchak Prager.
