This document describes a kollel that aims to train scholars to become arbiters of Jewish law. The kollel has 27 students currently studying in its Jewish law track. Over the past 12 years since its establishment, the kollel has made significant progress studying sections of the Shulchan Aruch, including laws related to meat and dairy, kashering vessels, Shabbat restrictions, and requesting things from gentiles on Shabbat. Students take monthly exams and oral exams every 1-2 years, impressing examiners with their comprehensive knowledge. Donations are requested to support continuous learning and to dedicate days of learning in someone's merit.

The finest of our graduates will, b’ezras Hashem,
go on to serve Klal Yisrael as Poskim - arbiters of
the Halachah. Twelve years ago our Kollel was
established and structured in order to provide our
students with the education necessary to reach
this lofty goal. These precious scholars delve into
the depths of Jewish Law and ultimately come
to understand all its intricacies and practical
applications.
Twenty seven avreichim are currently studying in
our Hora’ah – Jewish Law track. Others are on a
waiting list due to lack of funds.
Since the inception of our half day program,
we have, baruch Hashem, completed significant
portions of the Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim and
Yoreh Deah: Milk and Meat, Salting of Meat,
Kashering and Immersing of Vessels, Objects
that cannot be moved on Shabbos and Yom Tov,
Phrasing requests from Gentiles on Shabbos and
Yom Tov, and a large portion of the rest of the
Shabbos laws. And we are continuing on this
ambitious and noble path.
On a monthly basis our avreichim take and pass
challenging written exams on the material they
have mastered. In addition, after completing an
entire field of study (approximately every year
and a half) the avreichim are tested in writing
by the Kollel and tested orally by distinguished
Rabbanim and Poskim, who are consistently
amazed at the scholars’ comprehensive knowledge
of the subject matter.
The crown jewel of the Kollel’s program is our
special incentive program that offers additional
stipends to reward uninterrupted study. As is
known, continuous study is a foundation for
acquisition of Torah knowledge. Not only do
the avreichim not interrupt their own learning,
they do not enable anyone else to interrupt them
either; they commit to keep their cellular phones
off during all the hours they study.
Each week the Kollel members either hear a
lecture or attend student-led talks (chaburos).
One week the lecture is given by the Rosh Kollel:
HaRav HaGaon Rebbi Chaim Stern, shlita, who
gives a comprehensive review of the material and
its practical applications. The following week,
on a rotating basis, two members of the Kollel
offer their own reviews of the subjects they have
studied – an endeavor that reinforces and elevates
each member’s level of learning very much.
The formal lectures by the staff and the classes
taught by the students are subsequently printed
and distributed to all the members of the Kollel,
in order to further reinforce their understanding of
the material.
Great is the merit of one who helps to support
such dedicated scholars, and greater than purely
intellectual discourse is study that leads to the
actual performance of proper deeds – in this case
study leading to the proper practice of Halachah.
For this reason we are offering you a true
partnership in this learning. Adopt an avreich for
a month or dedicate a specific day for your merit
each year – for your success, in memory of a loved
one, in honor of a simcha or for any other reason.
Your merit will surely be doubled by G-d, the
Ultimate Provider of ‘Matching Funds.’
B’ezras Hashem, during the month or on the day
you have selected, we will post an attractive sign
with the details of your dedication at the Kollel
and the avreichim will learn for your merit.
