The Philadelphia Community Kollel

The Philadelphia Community Kollel, located in Merion Station, PA, is a unique organization in the Greater Philadelphia community. Its staff of sixteen rabbis and their families foster traditional Jewish education and awareness among men, women, and children of all affiliations through an energetic program of Torah study and teaching. Kollel rabbis reserve the bulk of their daytime hours for the intensive learning necessary to maintain a high level of scholarship and in the early morning and evening, they are study partners to community members and give lectures and classes within and outside the Kollel. In addition, the Kollel’s batei medrash (study halls) and extensive libraries are available at all times of the day for community members to utilize. Our vibrant Women’s Division runs wide-ranging events and weekly classes for women of all ages. Our very popular boys' Masmid and girls’ Kesher programs excite over 200 children throughout the winter months. All classes and programs are free of charge and attended by close to 500 individuals a week from pre-dawn to close to midnight, daily. We aim to work together with the community to make Greater Philadelphia an even better place to live.
