Mission: Kollel Gevoha Imrei Kohain was founded by Harav Eliyahu HaKohain Kahanow Shlita, the Rosh Yeshiva of Kollel Gevoha Imrei Kohain, a noted Talmid Chachom and Marbitz Torah for many years in New York area, the and grandson of Harav Uri Meir Kahanow, Shlita, and under the close guidance of his father Moron Hagaon Hagodol Harav Elazar HaKohain Kahanow Shlita Rosh Yeshivah, Mesifta Torah Vodaath. To the joy of the Torah community in Brooklyn, Kollel Govoha Imrei Kohain was founded in Elul of 1997. Its inception however started many months before when a group of prominent Bnei Torah felt there was a need for a Kollel in the Brooklyn, New York area exclusively for highly motivated avreichim. A kollel where the standard and intensity of the learning is exceptional and the atmosphere of Torah is one that the avreichim could reach their full potential in becoming gedolei Torah and Manhigim for Klal Yisrael. The goal is of having a Kollel for avreichim in the Brooklyn, New York area where the intensity of the learning is exceptional and the fire and vigor of the learning is intense. One of the great hatzlochos of Kollel Imrei Kohain is the pilpul chaverim and chaburah’s that are said in the Kollel. Every week two avreichim say a chaburah to their fellow kollel members, which with their labor and toil in Torah they have composed. The Kollel gathers together all the chidushei Torah that have been said in the Kollel and publishes it as a service to the Jewish Torah community.
