Our Story
MCR was started in 2021 by Rabbi Aaron Kaufman, Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva Ateres Shmuel of Waterbury, and Rabbi Shimon Yanofsky, noted and experienced Mechanech with a feel for unconventional education. They started the yeshiva with the goal of providing a nurturing and encouraging environment for Talmidim who can benefit from an individualized approach. Joining them were Rabbis Shamshon Levi, Yaakov Prupas, Daniel Spiro, and Yaakov Mintz, each bringing their own unique skills, perspectives, and personalities to round out a faculty that is dedicated, engaged, and devoted to their talmidim, day and night.
