Appoint a teacher for yourself; acquire a friend for yourself; and judge everyone favorably. ~ Pirkei Avos

Summer Kollel

Kesher Israel Congregation’s Kollel Zichron Dov is named in honor of HaRav Berel Dov Zafran, z"tl.  Rabbi Zafran was one of the world’s great authorities on Kashrut, especially on the slaughtering of chickens.  For many years, he was the Rav Ha’Machshir of Empire Kosher Poultry.  It was through his knowledge and expertise that Empire became one of the most important suppliers of kosher poultry in the world.  Rav Zafran was a proud member of Kesher Israel Congregation.  He devoted his life to Torah and learning. 

Kesher Israel Congregation wishes to express its sincere thanks to all who have supported the Kollel Zichron Dov since it’s inception and a special thanks to Rebbetzin Freida Zafran for her continued generous support.

You are invited to study with a kollel member on any subject of Jewish interest.  Kollel participants are available for 1-on-1 chavrusah learning 1 hour before Minchah, after Maariv, or at your convenience (but please set up through the office, 238-0763).
