Kollel Gur Aryeh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kollel Gur Aryeh is a kollel, a post-graduate rabbinical and Talmudical college, for young married Orthodox men located in Brooklyn, New York. It was established in 1956 by Rabbi Yitzchok Hutner as the post-graduate division of the Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin. A number of well-known Haredi scholars and rosh yeshivas ("heads [of] yeshivas") are among its alumni.
The kollel is named in honor of Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel, who was know as the "Maharal of Prague" and who wrote a work on the Torah known as the Gur Aryeh al HaTorah. The name means "young lion" or "lion cub".
