The Rebbe’s Kolel Expands to 46 Yungerleit, Pledges To Grow by 12 More

More than sixty years ago, the Rebbe founded Kolel Menachem – the very first Lubavitch kolel. Throughout the years, The Rebbe remained personally involved, regularly requesting updates on its attendance and progress. It was never just another institution; it was the Rebbe’s Kolel.

This past Nissan, Machne Israel undertook the responsibility of supporting and expanding the Kolel, with a commitment to strengthen this treasured institution for generations to come.

The growth has been remarkable.

We began by providing monthly stipends to 40 full-time yungeleit. By Iyar, that number had grown to 46. Today, in Sivan, 57 full-time yungeleit receive monthly stipends, enabling them to dedicate themselves fully to Torah learning while supporting their families with dignity.

As more dedicated yungeleit seek to join, we hope to welcome and support 12 additional members in the coming weeks.

One of the most inspiring developments has been the community’s response. Already, 21 supporters have stepped forward to “adopt a Kolel member,” committing to sponsor a monthly stipend and becoming true partners in the Kolel’s continued growth.

As the Kolel continues to grow, so does our investment in its future. Over time, we will be making a series of facility improvements to enhance the learning environment for our yungeleit.

Every new member welcomed into the Kolel strengthens Torah learning, supports another family, and carries forward the Rebbe’s vision.

We invite you to partner with us in ensuring that the Rebbe’s Kolel continues to grow and flourish.
