Kollel Neitz Ramat Beit Shemesh, is a kollel for married men meeting to study Torah for two hours every morning before sunrise. Rabbi Stein’s philosophy is that no person nor hour should be left void of Torah study, enhanced by uninterrupted unbothered learning in the quiet of the early morning.

What People Are Saying
Rabbi Boruch Stein has established an early morning kollel in Ramat Beit Shemesh. Boruch, raised in West Hempstead, is one of our outstanding young men whose achievments in Torah and safrus are well known and admired .. in Israel. The kollel members are suffused with Ahavas Yisrael and strive for ethical perfection. I believe Rabbi Stein’s endeavors warrant our generous support.

If you want to truly enjoy life, then you must experience yourself firsthand the magnificent delight of learning Torah in the early morning kollel of Reb Boruch Stein. Step in from the quiet and dark sleepy world outside to the bright, lichtigge, warm, and inviting beis meidrash. Those hours of Torah learning will be your best. Your mind is the clearest, and you can make deep contact with the sugyah you are learning or reviewing without distractions. And, what an incredible preparation you will be making for shacharis. Start your day right – and enjoy!

The mindset of most is that I need to get up in the morning and I want to go to sleep at night. There are those few, however, who like to think the opposite. That’s us - that’s the kollel.
R’ Boruch Stein
I have known Rav Boruch Stein nearly my entire life. We went to elementary school and high school together. His story, his commitment, and his earnestness is remarkable. Through his example of purity and simplicity, he has inspired so many--including me. Holy simplicity and purity deserves our attention and support.
