Our spiritual growth does not stop when we leave Israel.

Klal Yisroel is blessed with many teachers who inform but a rare few who truly inspire. Rav Mordechai Burg is most definitely counted among them.

As a mechanech who has been teaching in Yeshiva and Seminary in Eretz Yisrael for 25 years, I can affirm that the success of the years of Torah study in Eretz Yisrael can only be truly cemented and endured if it is followed up by real and meaningful growth when the talmidim and talmidot return to Chutz La'aretz. Nitzotzos' Mashpia, Rav Mordechai Burg, is someone whom I have had the privilege of working side-by-side with at Yeshivat Sha'arei Mevaseret Zion, for the past ten years. Rav Burg is a phenomenal mechanech and an inspirational speaker, who keenly understands the unique challenges and potential of today's youth, and spends his days and nights helping them realize their potential to become the leaders of tomorrow.

I have had the zechus of knowing Rav Mordechai Burg, shlita, for many years. He is an exceptional and outstanding talmid chochom. Rav Mordechai has decided to team up with other wonderful people and create an organization that reaches out to young women in their search and thirst for Torah. Supporting such an organization will help raise the next generation of women to a very high level. Brocha v’hatzlacha.

Nitzotzos is accomplishing so much more than just keeping the spark alive. It is working with passion, vision and great depth to nurture and enliven the Jewish soul at each stage of life. May you continue to build a strong network of dedicated and growth-oriented ovdei Hashem. With Hashem's help and continued guidance and proper leadership, the Jewish people look forward to cheering you on as you turn the "spark" into a ever-growing flame!

It is so inspiring to see a group of young women who want to continue developing their relationship with Hashem for many years to come, and have created a framework to help them grow in ruchniyus. The brilliant and talented Rav Mordechai Burg, who has both the vast knowledge and intuitive understanding to relate to the next generation, will undoubtedly be an incredible role model and teacher for this remarkable group of women, as they strive to keep the sparks of Yiddishkeit burning.
