Editing Colel chabad (section)

== The Colel's Activities ==
Since its establishment, the Colel operated under Chabad Rebbes' presidency to raise donations from Chassidim throughout Russia and send them to Jews in the Holy Land.

The Alter Rebbe wrote special letters and also chapters in the Tanya about the merit of donations to the Holy Land.

The following Rebbes also encouraged Chassidim to donate while working to organize the Colel in the best possible way to channel as many donations as possible to Jews in the Holy Land.

Even during wars and crises, donations did not stop, and thus Chassidim in the Holy Land received much help, thanks to the work of Chabad Rebbes. Managers appointed to carry out the activities included prominent Chabad rabbis and Chassidim in Russia and the Holy Land.
