The Kollel's 16th Annual Dinner










We wish to express our tremendous gratitude to Hashem for the success of the Kollel's Sixteenth Annual Dinner. " Growing with Torah, Growing with You" brought together close to 400 men and women from our community who enjoyed an evening of warmth and camaraderie  in a display of kavod haTorah, bringing honor to the Torah that the Kollel represents.

     We extend a big yasher koach to all those who participated in the event and campaign. Without your support, the Kollel's activities would not be able to carry on. Thank you to our honorees, dinner and journal chairpersons, Kollel staff and all the numerous volunteers whose help resulted in a beautiful and well-organized evening. 
 
     Your support and encouragement enables us to work with even greater vigor to provide further learning opportunities for our wonderful community.
