We are imminently opening a 2200 square foot addition on our Sherman Park Campus, facilitating 50% more seats in the Beis Medrash and two new spacious classrooms that will house new learning experiences for men and women. And we continue to expand our diverse menu of study opportunities and experiential programs – Timeless Jewish Wisdom with Rabbi David Begoun…Timeless Jewish Values with Ali Begoun…Words Can Heal Campaign…Israel Experience 2009… Milwaukee Conference for Jewish Women…Friday Night Fire……The Kollel Institute…Challah Baking with Denise Stern…Perspectives home group study sessions…Executive Study Program – all custom designed to enable Jewish men and women of diverse backgrounds fulfill their Jewish potential. There are no preconditions to participation; all that is required is a desire to experience our rich Jewish heritage. Reflecting on the past years, we take pride in the strides we have made in building Jewish pride and strong, informed Jewish identities.

Rabbi Mendel Senderovic is the Dean of the Milwaukee Kollel. Rabbi Senderovic’s lectures and classes cover a broad range of Jewish topics, from contemporary issues and Jewish philosophy to advanced Talmud and Jewish practice. He is also the President of the Beth Din Rabbinical Court of Milwaukee, assisting Jewish couples who require a Get (traditional Jewish divorce) and facilitating compromises in financial disputes. Educated at Beth Medrash Govoha in Lakewood NJ and a sixteen year resident of Milwaukee, Rabbi Senderovic has an infectious personality, an intelligent style, and quick wit.
 



 

Rabbi Pinchas Avruch is a graduate of Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim/Rabbinical Seminary of America and Touro College, both in New York City. As Executive Director of the Kollel he is responsible for finance and administration, but his passion for Jewish education and the growth of his fellow Jew regularly pull him out of the office, into the classroom for the Hebrew Reading Crash Course into the downtown office of one of his Executive Study Program partners or off to the Holy Land as coordinator of JWW’s Israel Experience.
