Maayan Menachem was founded on Gimmel Tammuz 5780, inspired by the Lubavitcher Rebbe's call to spread the wellsprings of Chassidus without distinction between background and community. 

During that summer, Maayan Menachem's first project took place. It was a first-of-its-kind Camp for Bachurim from mainstream Yeshivos to spend a few weeks seriously learning Chassidus. The Bachurim and the Mashpiim were equally amazed at the success of the program, and it was clear that Maayan Menachem was here to stay. 

Sure enough, as it became clear in the coming weeks that the Israeli border was still closed to foreign students due to Covid-19, the need arose for an Elul Yeshiva. Maayan Menachem rose to the occasion and within days, a Beis Medrash, Dorm, and staff were found for the coming month. 

Over the following year, Maayan Menachem reached the holy land with a weekly night kollel program for the bachurim learning in yerushalayim. They would come once a week to learn maamarim, with farbrengens and shiurim by various Mashpiim.

The summer came along, with the obvious need for a summer framework. Once again a venue was provided for, and Maayan Menachem was back for its second and largest summer yet. Over 40 Bachurim participated in the camp program, starting out in Mitzpe Ramon and finishing in Kfar Chabad. 

The momentum reached during the summer continued well into the winter, with the kollel eventually reaching an unprecedented 50 Bachurim weekly, with steady Shiurim, Farbrengens, and Shabbosim.

Today, Maayan Menachem is the Chassidishe family for any American Living in Yerushalayim. Boasting Farbrengens and shiurim for Yungerleit, their wives, and of course the good old Bachurim! 

Thousands of American families and Bachurim in Yerushalayim are waiting for Maayan Menachem to reach them. It's up to you!
