History

The Yeshiva closed in 2012[2] has been replaced by the Bridgeport Community Kollel.[3] These men dedicate their time to further their own personal studies, and to develop the growing city of Bridgeport. The Kollel has been a very successful endeavor. The Yeshiva Gedola of North Bergen, also shares the Bai's Medrash With the Kollel.

The Kollel gives many shiurim and lectures on all levels.[4]

The typical academic year runs from September to July. Students study in the Yeshiva in the traditional Lithuanian study method, as practiced by Yeshivas such as the Mir yeshiva in Jerusalem and Beth Medrash Govohain Lakewood, New Jersey.
