Munich, Germany

The Torah MiTzion Kollel in Munich was founded by Mr. Jechiel Bieber in 2008, with the support of the L.A. Pincus Fund for Jewish Education in the Diaspora. The fund was founded in 1977 with the goal of initiating formal and informal education projects in Jewish communities around the world. The Kollel currently operates in cooperation with many organizations, including the Bavarian Association of Jewish communities (Landesverband Der Israelitischen Kultusgemeinden in Bayern), student movements, Morasha and the Janusz Korczak Academy.

The Munich Kollel is located primarily at the Possart Synagogue and also operates at the community center – Israelitische Kultusgemeinde (IKG).

For its first five years the Kollel was headed by Rabbi Yechiel Brukner and his wife, Sarah (2008-2013). The Kollel has since been led by Eliezer and Rotem Noy (2013-2016) and Avraham and Tamar Grunwald (2016-2017). Last year, Rabbi Yechiel and Sarah Brukner were back in Munich as Rosh Kollel together with Bnot Midreshet Zion Elleana Silberman and Hodaya Ben Ari. Mainly active with the vast student population in Munich, the Shlichim run daily learning programs, special holiday activities, meals, and Shabbatonim for the students. Rabbi Brukner also coordinates the activities for Morasha in Munich, and Sara runs additional shiurim and programming geared towards women as part of the Midreshet Tzion project. In addition, the Shlichot head the local Bnei Akiva branch. The Shlichim also participate in many German and European conferences, Shabbatonim, and camps.
