Kollel Beth HaTalmud / Yehudah Fishman Institute was founded in 1981, and is the first overseas community kollel established by the Lakewood yeshiva under the direction of the legendary Torah leaders, Rabbi Shnuer Kotler and Rabbi Nosson Wachtfogel ZT”L.
The Kollel consists of a core group of scholars who are engaged in full-time study at an advanced level, who upon graduation assume leadership positions in the Jewish community, throughout Australia as well as abroad.
The Kollel is also an educational resource for the Australian community, for Jews of all backgrounds, ages and level of observance. Through innovative programs and classes, our goal is to help Jews connect to their rich spiritual heritage, by providing a positive Torah learning experience.
Please consider joining one of our programs. We are confident that you will find it spiritually uplifting, as well as an enjoyable experience.
The Beis Medrash
