The Kollel, founded in 2005 by a group of alumni, has a profound impact on the yungeleit themselves – enabling them to grow and learn on an advanced level – as well as on their families, the talmidim of Yeshiva Darchei Torah, and the wider community. The 40 full-time fellows and the 30 members of the afternoon Kollel Mechanchim enhance the roaring kol Torah in the beis medrash from morning until night and serve as role models for their younger counterparts on campus. Nearly all of the yungeleit of Kollel Tirtza Devorah have settled in the vicinity of the Yeshiva, helping to revitalize once- decaying neighborhoods. The alumni of the Kollel have gone on to spread Torah, serve the Klal, and conduct their lives as paradigmatic bnei Torah throughout the nation, from the local Far Rockaway/Five Towns community to Phoenix, Arizona. !
