About Us

Originally established in 1959, Kollel Avodas Levi was always considered the crown jewel of our Yeshiva by the Rosh Hayeshiva, Moreinu v'Rabbeinu Harav Ruderman zt"l. After Harav Ruderman's petira, the Rosh Hayeshiva, Moreinu v'Rabbeinu Harav Weinberg zt"l announced that the Kollel would be named after him. Alumni of Kollel Avodas Levi are leaders of Klal Yisroel, serving as Rabbonim, Rebbeim, and lay leaders in communities across the globe. Chief Rabbis, Dayonim, Roshei Kollel, Menahalim, and Kiruv professionals across 6 continents spent their formative years in Kollel Avodas Levi. Bnei Torah Baalei-Batim around the world, who set serious time daily to learn Torah and lead the Torah culture in their kehillos and cities, started their careers in Kollel Avodas Levi.

Under the leadership of the Rosh Kollel, Harav Ezra Neuberger, the Kollel has over 225 yungeleit learning full-time, developing into future leaders of Klal Yisroel. There are chaburos learning the yeshiva mesechta, Yoreh De'ah, Orach Chaim, and Even HaEzer, among other areas across Shas. After a full day of yeshiva, nearly every shul in Baltimore has a serious night seder anchored by our avreichim. Every year, our yungeleit go out and contribute greatly to Klal Yisroel, with a strong sense of achrayus for the tzibbur, which is uniquely characteristic of Yeshivas Ner Yisroel. Your investment in supporting Kollel Avodas Levi is an investment in the future of Klal Yisroel.
