OUR MISSION

The Kollel strives to elevate and energize the Minneapolis Jewish Community through immersion in Torah study and exemplifying its ideals, thereby enabling every Jew in Minneapolis to study and experience authentic Torah.

This is achieved through an environment of intense Torah study which enables its Rabbis to develop into effective leaders and teachers.


The Kollel is my learning center, moral compass and psychiatrist.
— Mike Zweigbaum
Studying with the Kollel rabbis, with my husband and with community peers helps bring perspective to my life. I am able to appreciate and focus on the big and important matters that contribute to a fulfilling life, and am learning to be a better person and not sweat the small stuff.
— Amy Rotenberg
