TABC recently kicked off its Friday Alumni Kollel program. Twelve alumni will be joining this year for this special program which includes learning, mentorship, building relationships and maintaining connections between students and esteemed alumni.

Participants in this year’s kollel are Akiva Wiener, Ariel Forman, Aviel Avidan, Daniel Levy, Gavi Forman, Sam Eisenstadter, Shua Naor, Tzvi Nash, Yair Knoller, Yehoshua Segal, Yosef Glatter and Yosef Silfen.

The program, taking place on Friday mornings, starts with tefillah with the kollel fellows joining the various minyanim, then follows with two periods of learning chaburot. The chaburot consist of a few talmidim with an assigned fellow, who choose a topic together. The fellows break for breakfast with various rebbeim, providing them with the opportunity to further develop relationships with rebbeim and each other, schmooze, ask questions, seek advice, etc. They continue their morning preparing b’chavruta under the guidance of Rabbi Ezra Wiener, and conclude with a shiur from Rabbi Zvi Sobolofsky, which is a wonderful opportunity to learn with a true talmid chacham in an intimate setting.

Kollel fellows will also join students throughout the year at late night learning, shabbatonim, onegs and other programs to further connect the present, past and future of TABC talmidim and alumni. TABC is extremely proud of the kollel program, which year after year, provides alumni and students with serious learning opportunities and much more.
