Construction Advances on New Learning Space Behind 770
Construction is moving ahead on a new learning space on Union Street near Kingston Avenue, at the site of the historic Kollel building behind 770. When completed, the climate-controlled beis medrash will accommodate over 300 bochurim and yungeleit, providing much-needed learning space just steps from 770.

Beams went up on Thursday, marking a major milestone and offering a clearer view of the large structure taking shape. The project, several years in the making, involved Kollel Menachem, Machne Israel, and neighboring property owners collaborating to address an immediate need while considering future plans for the site.
The new building will replace the old Kollel structure, which had been unused and deteriorating for over two decades. Established by the Rebbe, Kollel Menachem became a renowned center of Torah study under the leadership of Harav Yosef Heller.
Discussions began in 5781 between Kollel management and Machne Israel's board, led by Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky, to explore using the Union Street property temporarily while long-term plans progressed.
After years of planning and coordination, construction is now well underway. With the beams in place, the project nears its final phase, expected to provide a significant new learning space for the growing number of students in the 770 area.
