Kollel Yad Shaul

Kollel Yad Shaul is a Charedi yeshiva based in Johannesburg, South Africa. It played a pioneering role in the growth and spread of Torah in South Africa, having produced numerous serving Rabbis and educators. It is headed by Rabbi Yitchak Grossnass.

Established in the early 1970's, it was originally based in Yeoville, Johannesburg until 2000, when it moved to the suburb of The Gardens. Rabbi Boruch Dov Grossnass headed "The Kollel", as it is known, for 40 years; Rabbi Grossnass took over from the late Rabbi Mordechai Shakovitzky when the latter moved to Israel. From 2018 -2021 it was headed by Rabbi Baruch Rubanowitz.

The Kollel also provides a Beit Midrash open to the wider community; and is well known for its lending library, "the Otzar". It previously housed the Yeshiva Pri Eitz Chaim.
