For more than thirty years, Kollel Yad Brodman has trained rabbis, dayanim and educators for the Religious Zionist community. The kollel was headed from its founding by Rabbi Moshe Chaim Dimentman zt"l. Today it is led by Rabbi Meir Berkovitz and Rabbi Yosef Shalit.
Our graduates serve as roshei yeshiva, dayanim, and rabbis of communities across Israel. Seven community rabbis serving in Rehovot today grew in our beit midrash, in the spirit of the Torah of the Land of Israel.
Every year the kollel publishes Avnei Mishpat, a Torah journal on halacha, society and economics. Twenty-four volumes have appeared so far.
The kollel is named in memory of Moshe, Chana and their son Ben Zion Brodman, who perished in the Holocaust.
