Bringing the Spirit and Scholarship of YU to LA
The Jack and Gitta Nagel YU Community Kollel began in 2022 with a singular focus: Lilmod u’Lilamed - to learn and teach Torah. Through Shiurim, Chavrusa learning and educational opportunities for the entire community, we’re inspiring growth and impacting the families of the Pico-Robertson neighborhood.

Weekly Night Seder Participants
Night seder with my chavrusa, Rav Kluger, is a welcoming and comfortable learning experience, where I methodically enhance and improve my Gemara skills and comprehension. I'm a big fan.
Josh Klugman
Night Seder Participant
Night Seder at the YU Kollel has given me not just tools to be able to read a Gemara, but a new perspective on my relationship with Hashem.
Jack Kirschenbaum
Night Seder Participant
Having the YU Kollel in the heart of our community has significantly elevated the level and breadth of Torah learning for both students and adults. We are honored to be part of the Kollel since its inception and to continue supporting its growth.
Howard and Elayne Levkowitz
Night Seder Participant
The YU Kollel has amazing programming from all the Rabbis. I look forward to it every week, whether it’s the Daf Yomi B’iyun shuir, a Thursday night mishmar/chaburah, or just a Shalosh Seudot drasha by Rabbi Pere. It's honestly the best part of my week!
Eli Hartman
Night Seder Participant
I love having a place where I can spend time and learn with Avreichim who are serious about their learning, have good values, are relatable and want to help as many people as possible. I always walk away feeling good, and I have been inspired to grow in my Judaism!
Eitan Melamed
Program Attendee
The Kollel has reinvigorated a love for Torah in both my husband and myself. The members of the Kollel are so dedicated to Torah and helping others learn with them. We both participate in the various shiurim and learning opportunities that the Kollel has brought to our community, and we’ve built personal relationships with the Kollel families as well.

My son Yitzy’s time spent at Kollel has been transformative. Learning with and forming meaningful connections with the Avreichim has ignited his passion for Torah, inspiring growth and dedication that will continue to benefit him for years to come.
Dovid Levine
Night Seder Participant
Taking part in the YU Kollel has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. The Roshei Kollel and Avreichim are incredible role models, inspiring me daily with their dedication and passion for Torah learning. They have created a welcoming makom Torah where my friends and I can grow spiritually while enjoying a supportive and uplifting environment
Isaac Orenbuch
Night Seder Participant
The YU Kollel has been one of the greatest additions one can ask for to the Los Angeles community. Under Rabbi Steinmetz's amazing leadership, it has grown to become THE shining light of our city. The Avreichem are so committed to instilling their adept torah knowledge throughout the local community, and in such a short period of time it has made a significant impact on so many. I look forward to being a part of the Kollels' continued growth for many years to come.
