What's New!
Over the past year, we were delighted that three new families joined the Kollel, bringing the number of Avreichim up to eight. This is the largest the Kollel has been since its inception!
The Kollel are proud to have welcomed into our vibrant team: R’ Meir and Bassi Katz, R’ Yisroel Meir and Neomi Inglis and R' Moishy and Liba Bald. They have been living in Eretz Yisrael for the past few years, where they have studied in some of the most prestigious Torah institutions. Aside from their advanced learning calibre, they are committed and inspired to use all of their talents and resources to enhance our wonderful kehilla.
With Summer Zman well underway, the Kollel Avreichim and wives have been busy with many learning and social initiatives! Aside from the dynamic learning atmosphere throughout the day under the invigorating and inspiring guidance of our new Rosh Kollel, the Avreichim spend numerous hours in one-to-one learning sessions and delivering shiurim throughout the week. Everyone is welcome to be in contact to discover more learning opportunities to suit all interests and levels of learning.
We have also launched a program over Friday and Shabbos where the Avreichim learn the practical halachos of Eiruvin relevant to the sugyos they are learning. This takes place in the Cheider alongside an exciting new learning program with the high school boys.
The Avreichim and their wives have also been active with many different social initiatives to enhance Jewish life in the community.
R' Moishe Bald has spearheaded weekly social programs and Shabbos activities for high school boys, both of which have been warmly received. Also, a much-enjoyed Sunday juggling club for boys now takes place weekly under the tutoring of R' Meir Katz.
The Kollel Neshei have been very busy with communal events and Shabbos hospitality, amongst other initiatives, including a recent sourdough workshop led by Mrs. Neomi Inglis which was well attended. As part of Rabbi and Mrs. Katz's ongoing role in the Bendigamos community, Mrs. Bassi Katz has also led several delightful programs for ladies from her house.
This and much more, all happening in The Amsterdam Community Kollel!
Communal Kumzitz
On Monday evening, the Kollel organised a beautiful and inspiring kumzitz
led by R’ Meir Katz, that was well attended by members of the community.
Through uplifting singing and words of inspiration from Rav Shmuel Katz, the evening was a opportunity for everyone to come together and was enjoyed by all.
