A community which boasts a thriving Jewish community of all religious spectrums. Its beauty not only lies in its physical aspects - large homes - spacious living quarters; it's the quality of life which enhances the lives of its residents. A haven of warmth, acceptance and growth -- the genuine comradeship is tangible in the air. WCK-- fondly known as Willowbrook Community Kollel is the nucleus of this budding community. When you walk the streets you encounter a diverse clientele of Jews - yet, everyone greets each other, knows each other and cares for each other. Its one family spread about - yet mutually connected through the kollel's many wonderful programs, shiurim, classes and social functions. Enter the Kollel at any given time and be mesmerized by the Kol Torah emitting from within its walls. Young men are fervently learning throughout the day, their Torah learning surely safeguards the city's confines. Nothing beats the Sushi Shiur held every Tuesday night. Although the food definitely sets the mood - the accompanying lecture or shiur is truly what everyone yearns for. Ranging from various thought provoking and relevant topics -- it's always an inspirational message. The camaraderie that's formed through these get-togethers is everlasting. These social functions enrich there lives! Thursday's Mishmor program focuses on teaching Hilchos Shabbos- in depth lessons pertaining to Shabbos observance - both to adults and children. Hot chulent and kugel permeates an Erev Shabbos spirit along with the exciting treats doled to the children. There's nothing like spending a Friday night at WCK. After the meal everybody gets together to hear an Agadata Shiur, stories of Tzadikim and sing Shiros V'sishbochos to our hearts content -- it's the highlight of the week! To convenience everyone's busy schedules, four Daf Yomi Shiurim are held daily. And for those who appreciate a Yerushalmi Daf Yomi Shuir -- there's one too! Every shiur is delivered by special lecturers who infuse the shiurim with their dynamic insights and keep their audience captivated all along. The Kollel puts a strong emphasis on the young children -- our future generations. Boys from the local RJJ get together one evening a week for Night Seder. Supper gets served and then the kollel men learn with the children mentoring them with love, patience and friendship. Uniting the women are the communal ladies' events held throughout the year. These social hamlets offer world renowned speakers together with lavish buffets and refreshments providing a warm ambiance where the ladies get to socialize and form great friendships.
