The Power of Pure Torah
The Borehamwood kollel was spearheaded by Dayan Ehrentreu זצ״ל, whose vision and energy brought this project into being. In his mind’s eye he could already see families of Bnei Torah learning, growing, and inspiring one another and becoming the power source for the רוחניות of an entire community. This dream of a thriving מקום תורה in Borehamwood is the reality being lived every day through the dedication of our avreichim and the hundreds who learn with them each week.
There are so many reasons to support the largest Community Kollel in Europe.
Genuine Torah
Anyone familiar with our Beis Hamedrash will attest to the uncompromising emphasis on Hasmodo. Even the most impactful community work is only undertaken outside of Seder. This is what enables us to build solid, genuine בני תורה and תלמידי חכמים who are building a new מקום תורה in Borehamwood and will become the future leaders of our Kehillah.
Sharing Torah with the Local Community
The commitment of our avreichim who after a day of intense sedorim, spend time during night seder to learn with others is truly impressive but if you really want to get a sense of how the Kollel is affecting the community, just ask the 100+ of community members who learn with the Kollel.
Some are inspired by the Kollel davening, weekdays, Shabbosos, Yomim Tovim or over Yomim Noroim. Others will tell you how he or she has been deeply affected by a chavrusa or shiur that has brought the warmth of Torah to them and their families.
Besides weekly Chavrusos and the many events for men and ladies, the Kollel has run 19 weekly shiurim and learning programmes this year! After just a few years (2 of them Covid!) more than 150 local individuals learn from the Kollel weekly!
Supporting an Avreich in Borehamwood Kollel, increases the power of this מקום תורה, generating more kedushas hatorah and impacting all those around him in ways that can’t even be measured. Who can sense how the flow of kedusha draws others closer to Torah? Who can assess the life-changing impact as, at the end of each day, he returns to learn with his community chavrusa during evening Seder before rising early to deliver a pre-School Shiur at the local Jewish High School? Who can know how many individuals he and his wife meet and touch in the shops and his kids in the park each week?
This campaign is essential to sustain our regular operating expenses. Although our goal does not cover the entirety of our annual budget, the success of this campaign will secure our ability to continue our strong sidrei limmud and powerful local impact.
