Have you wanted to learn how to build things with wood? We will give you the skills and confidence to build anything from a small wood storage box to tables, chairs, swings, shelving units, and even decks and pergolas. From the first class, we will show you how to use the tools and give you the know-how to build fun and useful woodworking projects. You may even sell some of the things you build (and cover the cost of the course!)

No experience necessary. We supply all of the wood, fasteners and tools.
All you need is a "can do" attitude.

About Eli Moshe Zimbalist
He was an incredible young man with hands of gold, and a heart of gold.
​
He was an inspiration and helper to dozens of people.
(From Aryeh Deverett)
I met Eli Mo when he was 11 years old. He was my neighbor when we made Aliyah to Bet Shemesh. Eli Mo was a student in my first woodworking chug in Israel. Immediately I saw how talented and motivated he was. He would finish projects in half the time of the other students and then help the others to finish their projects.
​
At age 13, I encouraged his grandparents to buy him a set of power tools for his Bar Mitzvah, which they did. And then Eli Mo blossomed.
He was a sponge for knowledge. I taught him to build decks, pergolas, sheds, swings, tables; everything I knew. I taught him how to fix all kinds of things in his home - pipes, drains, outlets, cupboards; And by about age 15, he became the neighborhood handyman. Everyone called him for help in their homes. He also maintained the shul.
By age 18 he had built dozens of decks, pergolas and furniture. By the end of high school he had a thriving business. His aspiration was to become a big builder in Israel.
​
He had incredible derech eretz (manners) and exemplary middot (good character traits). He helped everyone, sometimes for a fair fee, and often for free. He was bright, friendly and extremely motivated.
​
When he started hesder Yeshivah, his building business had to go “on hold”. Ironically when he was drafted into the IDF, he was given a role in combat engineering – to destroy buildings and tunnels, yet he was as talented in that role as he was in building things.
Tragically in June 2024, Eli Mo and 7 of his comrades were killed in Gaza.
​
It was “my” dream for Eli Mo to build a school of woodworking. I wanted to help him to teach thousands of students the skills that I had taught him, and that he had become so expert in (even better than me!) And now we will continue his legacy.
​
I have met many wonderful young men in my lifetime. But none were like Eli Mo. He was a unique, one of a kind, incredible, talented person. In his merit, we hope to be able to teach hundreds of students the skills, attitude and motivation that he had.
