WELCOME TO BEITH DAVID CENTER FOR LEADERSHIP IN ISRAEL
Beith David was founded in the Jewish year, 5759 by Dov
Ben-Shorr. Faced with the current situation in the Jewish world, wherein there
are a plethora of leadership positions, but a desperate lack of true leaders, Beith
David was created. Established in Jerusalem, Beith David was established to
develop and train leaders, "generals" for the Jewish world. Through Torah, the students
of Beith David will learn the obligations of leadership; one's responsibility and
limitations. Students will not only learn the laws, the Halakha, that the Sages established
for leaders, but they will also be introduced to the characteristics that make one a true
leader. One of the principle learning methods is that of modeling. Character studies
are done of various leaders found throughout the Tanakh (Bible) using the collected wisdom and
oral traditions of the Sages. These composites are then created to enable students to focus
and model their own behavior after these spiritual giants.
Today, Beith David is primarily an internet "Virtual" Beith
Midrash, conducting its learning through the internet and via e-mail. Plans are underway,
to establish a physical center in Jerusalem where students can come and learn on either a
short or long term basis. After the beginning of the year, Rosh HaShanah 5760, we are
planning to offer limited seminars and classes at temporary locations until a center can be
established.
It is our hope and prayer that Beith David will be a source of
strenght for the Jewish people, establishing and strengthening their leaders, who
will lead us in the path of God. May HaShem bless our endeavors.
