After an exciting week of learning, trips, and sports, Kollel packed out of Beit Meir and into Yeshivat Hakotel for shabbos. The weekend started off on a high note with words of introduction from Rabbi Josh Grajower followed by Kabaalat Shabbat by the Kotel.

Dinner was followed by a tisch in the kotel plazza and several smaller post-tisches. Shachris was by chaburah as many decided to daven vasikin or with Rav Avigdor Nebenzahl. Then came kiddush and chaburot followed by lunch and menucha.

There was an optional seder before mincha highlighted by a special discussion with Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin on the role of  failure in our lives. After mincha, Kollel treked to Aish Hatorah to hear from the hilarious and entertaining Rabbi Gav Friedman. 

An awesome shaleshudos with inspiring singing and words from Rav Turetsky close out shabbat and Kollel loaded the buses back to Beit Meir.

Shabbos was incredible and we expect nothing less from the upcoming week!

Today was a rocking day on the Kollel. After breakfast, we began the morning learning by spending time discussing and processing the incredible leil iyun from the previous night. After that, we continued the morning with the regular daily shiurim and chavrusa learning. After mincha, the beis was electric during chaburas. 

The afternoon had its own set of exciting activities. Sulam joined Kollel for the day and we played them in 2 basketball games, a soccer match, and a very exciting triple overtime hockey game in which Kollel won in shootout fashion. 

After playing Sulam, there was a Kollel vs. TJJ Ambassadors basketball game which was followed by a beautiful siyum and bbq dinner. The day ended with a great night seder, the legendary Rav Burg Thursday night shiur, and then a popping tish.

Welcome to Rabbi Yisroel Feld, Director of Sulam and Rebbe in Yeshivat Torat Shraga!
