Today / Tomorrow

From borrowed rooms to a forever home

Community photo — [TBC]

One face, direct eye contact: chavruta, a Shabbat table, kids at havdalah. Awaiting consented photos — faces > buildings.

Today — 25 years in borrowed spaces
The new building at Broadway & Arbutus
Tomorrow — our two floors at Broadway & Arbutus

Since 2000, the Kollel has been the warm, open heart of Jewish life in Vancouver — for everyone, at every stage. For 25 years, we’ve done it in spaces we’ve never owned.

A once-in-a-generation home coming

A new landmark building is rising on our historic Broadway & Arbutus corner. The first two floors are ours to claim: 10,000 square feet for a Beit Midrash filled with light, classrooms, a library, and Shabbat tables that never run out of room. What remains is $6 million — and one commitment: no mortgage. We build it debt-free, together, or not at all.

mortgage — forever

Your square foot is waiting. $600 claims one — that’s $100 a month over six months. Take one. Take fifty. Dedicate a classroom in memory of a parent, or put your family’s name on the Beit Midrash itself. Whatever your share, it will be there — under the feet of your grandchildren.
