Jewish Men In Black- CBS Community Kollel

 

R

Congregation Beth Solomon and Beis Medrash Govoha of Lakewood teamed up together to bring a kollel, religious college into the Philadelphia community. The kollel is comprised of young Rabbis who moved to Philadelphia to be able to study torah and impart their knowledge to the members of the community. The backgrounds of these Rabbis vary; Russian, American, and Israeli to be able to reach out to everyone no matter what language they speak and understand. The Rosh Kollel is Rav Aharon Notis from Lakewood.

The Kollel is available every night to learn with anyone who is interested on any level. One on one learning is also available.
