In anticipation of Kabbolas HaTorah,
​the community participated in an unforgettable weekend of inspiration with 
Rabbi Naftali Jeager, shlit"a, and Rebbetzin Tehilla Jaeger
Rosh Yeshiva and Rebbetzin of Yeshivas Sh'or Yoshuv, Lawrence, NY

The weekend culminated with the Kollel's Annual Grand Lecture
in memory of our founder, Dr. David Epstein, z"l 
Rav Naftali Jaeger, shlit”a, serves as the Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivas Sh'or Yoshuv in Lawrence, New York. The yeshiva was founded in 1967 by his father in law, Rabbi Shlomo Freifeld, former mashgiach ruchani at Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin and moved into it's current, state-of-the-art campus in 2003. Rabbi Jaeger lectures widely and  is renowned for his ability to connect with his audiences whether discussing deep Halachic concepts or inspiring words of Torah. Rebbetzin Tehila Jaeger is a noted and beloved teacher of Torah. She is the daughter of renowned Kiruv pioneers, Rabbi Shlomo and Rebbetzin Chaya Sarah Freifeld, zt"l and passionately believes that the future of Am Yisroel is keenly affected by the degree that women, as molders of the next generation, will spiritually deepen themselves. Rebbetzin Jaeger has been across the world sharing Torah that uplifts and illuminates others.

The Dr. David E Epstein z"l Memorial Lecture.

Dr. David Epstein, was one of the Kollel’s founders and served as President of its Board of Directors from 2002–2004. His leadership was instrumental in nurturing the Kollel from a fledgling organization into the community bastion of Torah learning that it is today. Dr. Epstein was a consummate physician, a model builder of Torah and community, and above all, a loving husband, father and son. In recognition of his integral role in the Kollel's history, the Annual Lecture is named in his memory.  We are confident that it will provide an additional source of merit for his neshama for many years to come.
