There are 5 Chaburas in the Kollel.
– Iyun Halachah which covers practical topics in Halocha in major depth. It is run by HaGaon Chaim Erental shlita, a Mot”z (Posek) on the Badatz Eida HaChareidit. It has since completed Hilchos Shabbos as part of a 5 year program and more recently, Brochos, which was a 2 year cycle. Candidates are tested on the highest level by external evaluators. They have now started Hilchos Ribis.
– Kollel Hora’ah, is a Semicha program that delves into Halocha on the highest levels. It is run by HaGaon Rav Moshe Friedman shlita, and the cycle runs for 7 years.
– Hilchos Choshen Mishpat – an intense Dayanus program, led by HaRav Yerachmiel Rabinowitz shlita. Testing is done monthly, and those who complete the program are sought out as Dayanim on various Batei Din.
– The Har Nof Shabbos Kollel. A new branch of the Kollel was started in 2018 in Har Nof in memory of the 5 Kedoshim z”l who gave their lives in the shul attack in 2014 (Rav Chaim Rothman, הי”ד, was a chavrusa of Rav Baruch Tanzer for 22 years). The focus is on Hilchos Shabbos, be’iyun. It provides a high level Beis Medrash for English speakers. The Rosh Kollel is HaRav Gidon Joffe shlita. Shiurim are given, and the Avreichim are tested every month.
– The Brisker Kollel for English speakers, which focuses on studying Shas using the deep Brisker method of learning.
Torah Is Life
What is remarkable about Avreichim, is that Torah is their life – and they have nothing else. Most of the Avreichim are prepared to forgo all the material luxuries of this world, and yet they learn day and night with simcha. The joy that the Avreichim have is felt by everyone who has visited any of the Batei Midrash.
The Mesiras Nefesh for Torah, is unprecedented. It is these 2 factors – sacrifice for Torah and the joy of learning it – is surely the recipe for producing the world’s finest.
