Photos of Purim 5784 at the Kollel

Thank you to all who joined us!

Thank you to all those who made Purim 5784 at the Kollel so memorable. We were inspired by the tefillos and several Megilla readings, learned with fervor at Motzaei Shabbos Men's learning, learned with excitement in a full Beis Medrash at Yeshivas Mordechai Hatzaddik on Sunday afternoon and danced with true simcha at the Purim Mesiba on Sunday night.

May we all merit to celebrate next year in Yerushalayim Ir Hakodesh!!
