As the first Kollel in Melbourne, Kollel Menachem has and continues to have an immense impact on the community. The Kollel is part of the Yeshivah Centre, Chabad Institutions of Australia.

Kollel Avreichim are Shluchei Torah: A large component of the Kollel is our Adult Education activities. Our Avreichim are encouraged to give regular shiurim including lectures at our annual Summer and Winter Yarchei Kallah programs.

Assistance and  direction in organising, preparing and presenting shiurim is provided. This provides an excellent opportunity to develop your skills in giving shiurim which will further assist in preparing for and finding your future Shlichus.

Our Kollel Avreichim also learn in Chavrusa with local balabatim and students, and serve as role-models of Chassidishe Yungeleit within the local Anash community.

The Melbourne Community

Melbourne is home to one of the largest Anash communities outside of Eretz Yisroel and North America. The community is renowned for its warmth and welcoming nature, especially to our Kollel families. The community is one which appreciates Torah and those devoted to its study.

The community has schools, yeshivos and moisdos and botei Chabad. The Kollel is situated in the heart of the community. The Kollel in turn services the community by providing shiurim, Chavrusas and other learning opportunities.

Shiur in the Beis Medrash
Kollel Menachem looks after our Avreichim with a generous Kollel stipend so that our Avreichim can focus on their learning, knowing that their family will be comfortable.

The Kollel Beis Medrash is a comfortable place for your learning. We have a comprehensive library of seforim and a computer research station with the Otzar HaChochma program.  The Beis Medrash is adjacent to the Yeshivah Shul and is used as the community Beis Medrash.  


Kollel wives make a large commitment for their husbands to be able to learn in Kollel. This commitment is even bigger when coming to ’far-off’ Australia. At Kollel Menachem, our Kollel wives are partners in Shlichus, running chavrusa and learning programs for women in the community and serving as role-models within the community. Teaching positions are often available to Kollel wives (subject to availability and visa requirements). The Kollel also arranges social programs for the Kollel wives, and presentations on practical Shlichus topics, family and relationships.
