The new facility is intended to address the overcrowding at 770, where the large number of Bochurim learning throughout the day has made finding a seat and a suitable place to learn increasingly difficult.

The structure is being built on the site of the former Kollel Menachem building, which stood largely unused for more than two decades and had fallen into disrepair.

Kollel Menachem worked together with other organizations and neighboring property owners to establish a temporary solution that would meet the immediate need for additional learning space while allowing for the site’s future development.

Once completed, the new Beis Medrash will accommodate more than 300 Bochurim and yungeleit, with heating and air conditioning to provide a comfortable environment for learning throughout the year.

The facility is scheduled to open on Rosh Chodesh Kislev.
