Rabbi Mordechai Bamberger
Director
Rabbi Bamberger has been the driving force behind the Kollel since its inception in March 2000. In May 2015 he retired from the Social Security Administration to devote himself full time to realizing his vision of a Kollel that serves all Jews who have a thirst for knowledge, especially teens and those who did not have the benefit of a Jewish education.
Rabbi Bamberger is a native of Baltimore and a talmid of Ner Yisroel and Philadelphia yeshivos.
