Welcome to Mesivta Menachem

Imagine a place where every bochur—from the one who struggles to understand, to the most learned—could feel at home.

Imagine a place where young men could play and learn, and develop their identities; where their teachers can share their wisdom; where they could learn how to appreciate the joys and beauties of our Chassidic heritage.

Imagine a place where learning and laughter, sacred and secular, spiritual and physical, come together in an inviting atmosphere of warmth and acceptance.

You have just imagined Mesivta Menachem —a place where Chassidishkeit and Yiddishkeit come vibrantly and joyously alive.

Meet our Hanhala

Rabbi Yosef Munitz
Rabbi Munitz has been teaching for almost 30 years, yet has lost none of his enthusiasm and warmth. Rabbi Munitz uses humor and a gentle touch as he guides the Bochurim in their development.

Rabbi Mendel Munitz
Continuing the family tradition, Rabbi Mendel has been a part of the Mesivta since its second year. Continuously inventing new and exciting ways to motivate the Bochurim, Rabbi Munitz, keeps the Mesivta running smoothly.

Rabbi Yisroel Meir Munitz
Rabbi Yisroel Meir is our Magid Shiur and Menahel Gashmi. Like his gradnfather of the same name, his rapport with the bochurim is very strong, and his impact is strongly felt.
