Beis Menachem Mendel
The Hanhala
The yeshiva is led by a full hanhala of talmidei chachamim who are present in the beis medrash daily — not administrators, but active mechanchim.

Leads the yeshiva with a vision for building genuine talmidei chachamim who are rooted in both nigleh and Chassidus.

Maggid Shiur, Chassidus

Mashpia

The mashpia of the yeshiva — leads farbrengens, farbrengts with bochurim, and nurtures the Chassidishe atmosphere.

Board
Vaad HaHanhala
- Rav Chaim Kaplan — the Rebbe's shliach, Chairman of Agudas Chabad Tzfat
- Rav Yosef Yitzchak Chitrik — the Rebbe's shliach, Director of Beis Chana Seminary
- Rav Yaakov Reitsas — the Rebbe's shliach
- Rav Alter Eliyahu Hakohen Friedman
- Rav Menachem Mendel Mintzberg
The Rebbe's yeshivos have always been defined by who leads them. In Tomchei Temimim, the mashpia is as important as the ram — the Chassidishe avodah is inseparable from the Torah learning. That is what this hanhala brings to Beis Menachem Mendel.
