Four new Kollel families have recently traveled half way
around the world to join Kollel Beis Hatalmud (The Lakewood
Kollel) in Melbourne Australia.
A melave malke was held in their honor recently to
give the community a chance to meet with the new
avreichim.
One of the new avreichim, Rav Aryeh Berlin, addressed
the audience. He comes from London and has studied in the
famed yeshivos of Gateshead and Mir. The other avreichim
to join are Rav Eli Saftlas from the U.S.A. who also
studied in the Mir, and Rav Yeshaye Stengel from Israel who
previously studied in Yeshivas Beis Mattisyohu in Bnei Brak
and under HaRav Paller.
Rav Aryeh Goldman, a Belzer chossid, decided to join
the kollel after receiving a brocho from the
Belzer Rov.
The four were selected by one of the roshei hakollel
Rav Dovid Nojowitz who was willing to undertake the
extra financial burden for the sake of further improving the
ruach of Torah in the kollel.
Over the years various kolleleit have left and taken
up positions as rabbonin, dayanim and maggidei
shiurim around the world. Thus there arose a need to
find new yungerleit. The arrival of the four gave the
kollel a fresh boost which will further raise the
banner of Torah in Australia.
One of the new yungerleit, Rav Yeshayah Stengel, is
editing a kovetz of chidushei Torah which the
avreichim produced while they studied maseches
Zevochim. It is expected to be published in conjunction
with the upcoming celebration of the kollel's 20th
year, later on this year.
