Baltimore, MD - Oct. 30, 2025 -The Baltimore community is celebrating the next chapter of a growing Makom Torah dedicated to tefillah, limud haTorah, and communal growth. After spending its first year learning and davening in K’hal Ahavas Yisroel Tzemach Tzedek (KAYTT), Kollel Avreichim has now moved into its newly renovated home at 6021 Western Run Drive, at the corner of Taney and Western Run.
Founded last Cheshvan under the leadership of Rabbi Binyomin Chajes and Rabbi Shaul Elchonon Sofer, the kollel began with six dedicated yungeleit learning daily in KAYTT’s Beis Medrash. Over the course of the year, the kollel steadily expanded to a group of ten serious avreichim, including families who joined from Lakewood and Eretz Yisroel, contributing to a growing Torah presence in the community.
The kollel’s mission is clear: “Avreichim today. Torah leaders tomorrow.” With a focus on developing strong marbitzei Torah, the kollel fosters serious growth in learning, middos, and communal responsibility.
Throughout the past year, the kollel was zocheh to host shiurim and divrei chizuk from distinguished Rabbanim and Roshei Yeshiva, including Harav Yaakov Hopfer Shlit”a, Harav Dovid Heber Shlit”a, Harav Avrohom Schorr Shlit”a, Harav Pinchos Jochnowitz Shlit”a, Harav Gershon Ribner Shlit”a, and Harav Dovid Cohen Shlit”a, Rosh Yeshivas Chevron.
With deep hakaras hatov, the kollel extends heartfelt thanks to K’hal Ahavas Yisroel Tzemach Tzedek and its Rav, Harav Dovid Heber Shlit”a, for their gracious support and partnership throughout the kollel’s first year. Their warmth, guidance, and open Beis Medrash played a significant role in helping the kollel establish itself and flourish.
Now, with great siyata d’Shmaya, the kollel enters its new home — a warm and uplifting Beis Medrash that will serve as a vibrant center for both learning and tefillah.
