ABOUT KLM
Harness the transformative power of kavanah.
Kavanah
/kaˈvonə/
noun
A person’s intent, thoughts and focus. The defining ingredient in a Jew’s mitzvah performance.
Infusing meaning into your life is a daily struggle. It feels like an ‘extra’ that you don’t have time or tools to access.
But it doesn’t have to be.
At KLM we know that every Jew can harness the life-changing power of kavanah. You can experience mitzvos as forging a deep bond with Hashem and fellow Jews. And we’re bringing you the kavanah tools to achieve this.
Our Mission:
Help every Jew understand and develop kavanah so that they
Enhance their attachment to Hashem
Become more similar to Hashem in their character development
How do we do this?

THE FOUNDER’S STORY
The Book That Sprouted A Movement
In 2016, Rabbi Wegbreit was enjoying his life as Mashgiach and Gemara teacher at Bircas HaTorah, a Yeshiva in the Old City of Jerusalem.
In his words, “I was learning Gemara. I was teaching Gemara. I loved Gemara! I was learning Mussar. I was teaching Mussar. I loved Mussar! Life was good.”
Life was good. Except…
“I was throwing blessings out of my mouth. There was no real connection between my mundane activities and Hashem. I felt there was something missing within me in terms of my mitzvos.”
And then Rabbi Wegbreit stumbled across a book that changed his life: ‘Ka’asher Tzeevah Hashem’ by Rabbi Daniel Garfinkel.
He studied it from cover to cover, absorbing the powerful lessons on kavanah for mitzvos.
“The concepts I learned in the book changed my life, no doubt. With some little tweaks to my consciousness, it absolutely changed everything for me.”
Rabbi Wegbreit knew he had to bring the awareness of kavanah to more Jews. And as a teacher gifted with the ability to clarify complex subjects, he created practical classes and easy-to-implement tools.
So many people have benefited from his shiurim on kavanah. Entrepreneurs, housewives, lawyers, executives, seminary girls and Yeshiva bochurim — they’re all seeking the same thing. And the KLM Foundation is showing them the path to get there.
“Their eyes light up when they tell me that KLM is life-changing and that it’s reinvigorating their whole experience of Judaism.”
