[Reader submitted] Not just another Kollel, Kollel Ohel Shlomo is geared  specifically  towards  young  men in the “working field” who want to incorporate learing in their day in a Kollel setting/ atmosphere. How is this Kollel specifically geared to working people? The exciting topics are about Hilchos bein Adam L’chaveiro, which includes any Halachos dealing with another person. Some of the topics are bikur cholim, tzedaka, hiring/firing employees, among many others.

What exactly is included in Mitzvos Kibud av v’em?
Should I and to whom should I give tzedaka?
What does it really mean to love a fellow Jew like myself?
These topics, among others, are being learned in the kollel.

Of course these Halachos are important for everyone, but especially for people interacting with others the whole day. It teaches us how to work with our families, co-workers, clients and everyone else.  

The Sefarim used, called Linas Hatzedek, are a compilation of mareh mekomos from the source in torah or mishna, brought down to halacha l’maaseh. After each mareh makom is a summary of the main points , written by HaRav Yitzchok Berkowitz. Rav Berkowitz is Rosh Kollel of Kollel Yerushalayim and Rav of Sanhedria Murchevet in Yerushalayim.
