Torah Mitzion Kollel

Wednesday Evening Program

The "Torah MiTzion Kollel" program establishes centers for the study of Torah and promulgates the connection between Torah and Israel. These learning centers take the form of a Beit Midrash in which Torah scholars immerse themselves in study and practice of successes in enriching and enhancing Jewish communities around the world by promoting the lofty ideals of Torat Israel, Am Israel and Eretz Israel.

The core of these Kollelim are young, recent graduates of the Hesder Yeshivot, where advanced Jewish study is combined with military service in the Israeli army. Idealistic and dedicated, these learned young men and women are carfully selected and brought from Israel for a period of one or two years to serve as role models of the kipah seruga (knitted kippa) generation of Religious Zionism, balancing between safra v'sayfa (book and sword) and performing both midrash u'ma'aseh (study and action).

 The MJBHA Kollel s is one of 25 that span 5 continents. The Kollel exemplifies the unity of the Jewish people, the responsibility of one Jew for another and the centrality of the land of Israel as fundamental components of Jewish observance and continuity. 

The Torah Mitzion Kollel of the Melvin J. Berman Hebrew Academy enriches the lives of our students as well as the broader Jewish community through classes, programs and celebrations which are designed to bring Zionism to life.

Students interested in extra Torah study are encouraged to attend the Wednesday evening Kollel learning program. Pizza and soda are brought in for dinner. This is a great opportunity to enhance your connection with the dynamic Kollel members.

See the Torah Mitzion website for more information about their programs.
