About the Israel Association

HaGaon HaRav Shlomo Yehuda Be’eri, shlit”a—known throughout the Jewish world as the Yanuka—is renowned for an extraordinary command of the full breadth of Torah. The Yanuka’s teachings draw from Tanach, Talmud, Midrash, halachah, Kabbalah, Chassidut, and the writings of the great sages across the generations, bringing them together with remarkable depth and clarity.   The power of the Rav’s Torah lies not only in its breadth, but in the way it speaks directly to the heart. Ancient sources become immediate and alive, offering guidance in emunah, prayer, avodat Hashem, personal growth, and the everyday challenges of Jewish life. The Yanuka’s shiurim reach accomplished Torah scholars and those only beginning their journey, each according to their own level. At the heart of the Yanuka’s teachings is a call to recognize Hashem’s presence in every part of life, to appreciate the preciousness of every Jew, and to serve Hashem with sincerity, humility, and joy. The Rav’s prayers and original niggunim give further expression to this inner world of yearning, compassion, and closeness to Hashem. This English-language platform was created to preserve, translate, and share the Rav’s Torah. Through shiurim, weekly publications, prayers, niggunim, and digital media, the Yanuka’s teachings are becoming accessible to English-speaking Jews and communities throughout the world.
