The Valley Night Kollel Celebrates Its First Year!
Rabbi Yisrael Majeski had an idea: to create a centralized place of learning in North Hollywood that would be infused with warmth and a love of learning Torah. One year later, the Valley Night Kollel celebrated their first year, showing that this dream has become a reality. Every night of the week, the VNK is packed with learners of all levels and backgrounds. The VNK avreichim have a seder amongst themselves, and then learn with members of the community. There are special guest Rabbanim and shiurim on many subjects.
The BBQ and Kumzits was an opportunity to celebrate this milestone, and express hakaros hatov. It was hosted by the Mintz family, and featured inspiring music and stories by Moshe Storch.
Community members who have benefited from the Kollel can’t stop raving about the impact it has had on their families. “What I love about the VNK is that Sefardim, Ashkenasim, Chasidim – everybody comes together!” “This is the first time I have had a consistent seder.” Many wives vowed to send their husbands to learn even more after being inspired by the VNK video.
This is just the beginning, bezras Hashem, of the Kollel. Rabbi Majeski plans on expanding the programming and reach of the Kollel. We can’t wait to see what the second annual VNK anniversary will look like.
