Kollel Yad Shaul

Last updated

Kollel Yad Shaul [1] is a Charedi (ultra-orthodox) yeshiva based in Johannesburg, South Africa. The rosh yeshiva (dean) is Rabbi Yitchak Grossnass.

Established in the early 1970s, "the Kollel", as it is known, played a pioneering role in the growth and spread of Torah in South Africa. It has produced dozens of Rabbis and educators over the decades. [2] Its Beit Midrash is open, also, to the wider community; as is its lending library. It previously housed the Yeshiva Pri Eitz Chaim.

It was originally based in Yeoville, Johannesburg until 2000, when [3] it moved to the suburb of The Gardens. Rabbi Boruch Dov Grossnass headed the institution for 40 years; he took over from founder, Rabbi Mordechai Shakovitzky. From 2018 to 2021 it was headed by Rabbi Baruch Rubanowitz.
