{{matcher.matcherNotes}}

Almost 25 years ago, כולל עטרת משה was founded in ירושלים by הגאון ר׳ צבי Goldblum שליט״א, formerly of NW London and a תלמיד of Brisk under ר׳ יושר בער זצוק״ל. The כולל was established by request of English Yungerleit to have their very own מקום תורה in ירושלים.

The concept proved very successful and had tremendous הצלחה under R’ Zvi.

The Rosh Chabura of many years, HoRav Shmuel Kaufman שליט״א, took over the leadership of the Kollel some five years ago.

HoRav Shmuel is the son of the late Manchester Rosh HaKollel הגאון הצדיק ר׳ וופצי קאופמן זצוק״ל. R’ Shmuel learnt in Gateshead Yeshiva followed by Ponevezh under הגאונים ר׳ שך ור׳ דוד פברסקי זצ״ל. He is a renowned Talmid chochom with a soft nature, caring for all the needs of the Yungerleit. 

כולל עטרת משה have learnt through many מסכתות, putting a stress on both סוגיית בעיון and הלכה, together with a סדר מוסר which in turn leads to a blend of תורה and יראה together. The Yungerleit have also learnt and had בחינות on יורה דעה and received סמיכה from many of the outstanding רבנים in א״י. The current Yungerleit are a select Chabura of serious Talmidei Chachomim with great Cheshkas Hatorah.

In the past three years, the Kollel, besides expanding in number have had the זכות of a Rosh Chabura in the afternoon. HoRav Dovid Kestenbaum שליט״א formerly from Manchester is an outstanding תלמיד חכם and brings his charisma and ידיעות התורה to the Kollel, which the Yungerleit greatly benefit from.

Dozens of מרביצי תורה across England are alumni including רבנים, מגידי שיעורים, ראשי חבורה and many Mechanchim. They will attest their שטייגען and becoming תלמידי חכמים to כולל עטרת משה which has been an example of התמדה, ליגען אין לערנאן together with יראת שמים.

This past year the Kollel have added a new dimension; an evening Seder. The Kollel have now become a full day Kollel with all three full Sedorim. The evening Seder is led by R’ Ephraim Zalman Knopfler originally from London, a son of Horav Berel Knopfler Shlita. While still being a longstanding member of the full day Kollel, he has undertaken this position. The evening Seder’s Limmud is to do Chazora of the previous Masechta that the Kollel learnt and it’s proving very beneficial to the Yungerleit. 

When the כולל was first established the funds were solely underwritten by R’ Zvi שליט״א for many years; however, this changed after some time. R’ Shmuel Kaufman שליט״א took on the עול of raising the necessary funds for the כולל. This coincided with the first year after his illustrious father’s פטירה so it was taken on as an עילוי לנשמתו הטהורה. 

Four years ago, the first campaign was launched and it Boruch Hashem proved very Matzliach. It provided a full year of support for the Kollel enabling its continuation of  .יגיעה בתורהIn addition to the החזקת התורה a close connection was created between the current Yungerleit, the Alumni and close friends of the Kollel, helping the Kollel to thrive and flourish. So here we are again!

ב״ה there are a number of close friends to the כולל that have very generously agreed to be matchers. Many of them have increased their last years generosity and they are joined by a number of new matchers. We salute them, those that have taken pages, and indeed the donors for their munificence.

The Kaufman brothers, led by HaRav Yossi, are long standing friends of the Kollel and generous matchers to the campaign. The campaign is taking place around כז טבת, which is their father, R Mendel’s-בן ר׳ משה זצ״ל  זכריה מנחם הרב, eigth Yahrzeit. R’ Mendel was a very modest and refined individual who had an open and generous heart. May the family’s generosity be לעילוי לנשמתו הטהורה.

Beis Hamedrash Ohr Chodosh of Golders Green, led by Dayan Menachem Gelley Shlita adopted us as their Kollel and we value their friendship immensely. The Kollel has a lot of Hakoras Hatov to all members of the Shul. A special mention to R’ Chayim Schwab, R’ Jerome Ormonde and their families who have always been there for the Kollel and have spearheaded the Kollel-shul relationship. This year for the first time there is a number of Anonymous Matchers for the campaign from Beis Hamedrash Ohr Chodosh.

The aim is to raise £200,000 which is the total we בעזהש״ת hope to achieve from this fundraising effort. With the help of our good loyal friends, we will beH succeed.

א"ר יהושע בן לוי, מאי דכתיב: עומדות היו רגלינו בשעריך ירושלם מי גרם לרגלינו שיעמדו במלחמה שערי ירושלם שהיו עוסקים בתורה

The Gemoro in Maakos asks what does the Posuk in Tehillim mean when it says עומדות היו רגלינו בשעריך ירושלם, what it is that causes our ‘feet’ to be able to withstand a war? It’s the city of Yerusholayim that’s being  .עוסק בתורהMay the Zchus of being behind this campaign and the Torah it causes, bring שלום in Eretz Yisroel.

May Hashem grant ברכה והצלחה along with סייעתא דשמיא ברוחניות ובגשמיות with נחת from children and grandchildren to all those involved with this campaign. 

בברכה ותפילה להצלחת כבוד התורה
