The rebbeim are passionate about inspiring the talmidim to thrive and develop into Talmidei Chochomim, Bnei Aliyah, and Bnei Torah for life.

An integral part of the design of the Yeshiva is the strong connection between the Talmidim and the members of the Kollel. These young Talmidei Chochomim will serve as their role models and create an environment conducive to immersion in limud Torah in the Yeshiva’s thriving Beis Medrash. Living in close proximity to the Yeshiva, the exemplary Kollel members will cultivate close bonds with the bochurim, inspiring them by example, both inside and outside of the Beis Medrash.
