Kollel Binyan Simcha

Kollel Binyan Simcha is a UK-registered charity (number 1156872) established around 2005 in Salford, Greater Manchester, by committed young Torah scholars under Rosh Hachabura Horav Eliyohu Pinchos Levy. Its dual mission advances elite Torah scholarship—supporting around 30 full-time married avreichim (scholars) to become future Rabbonim, Roshei Yeshiva, and educators—and provides poverty relief through grants and loans, prioritizing the Jewish community's spiritual and material wellbeing in North West England. Rooted in values of discretion, community resilience, and Torah leadership, it fosters a world-class Beis Hamedrash while discreetly aiding those in hardship.

It funds poverty prevention and relief for Jewish individuals and families, stipends for advanced Torah study, educational resources, and core support for Torah infrastructure, including small to medium charities aligned with these aims. Beneficiaries include scholars' families, grassroots Jewish organizations, and projects strengthening communal leadership, with a focus on immediate needs and long-term impact in Jewish education and welfare.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities operating in Salford City, Manchester City, or Bury, with a strict Jewish-only focus; it prefers smaller, local entities without formal income thresholds but does not accept unsolicited applications—grants are awarded at trustee discretion via private referrals. Typical grants range from £1,000 to £10,000 annually (often £1,000–£3,000 for individuals, £2,000–£10,000 for organizations), covering core costs, projects, capital, and revenue on a rolling basis with quarterly or needs-based trustee meetings and no public deadlines.

Distinctively, it excludes non-Jewish causes, areas outside its core locales, and open applications, emphasizing confidential, trustee-led support within the interconnected Jewish philanthropic network to uphold beneficiary dignity and Torah-centric resilience.
