Our Daily Schedule The avreichim - (Kollel fellows) pursue their focused learning programme in advanced rabbinics for two sedarim (sessions of learning), in the morning and afternoon. Later in the day, they provide their expertise and commitment as in-house community educators; every evening between 6.45pm and 7.45pm, the Beis Hamedrash is open to members of the wider community. Young and old are invited to partake in learning sessions - either one-to-one, or in small groups. For Kollel members who live within the community, community involvement stretches far beyond the formal working day, and they engage both formally and casually in all areas of Jewish life.
Our Alumni WCK provides opportunities for developing Rabbis and educators to prepare themselves for a role in the wider Jewish community, providing an in-house insight into the challenges and issues confronting Anglo-Jewry. The Kollel has proven itself to be a training ground for well recognised and renowned educators throughout the Manchester community and beyond.
