Beit Chatam
Our Shul’s History
Beit Chatam was founded by a group of Kollelniks in 5743 (1983) . The founders felt that Rechovot’s large and growing English speaking community was in need of Torah advancement. TorahRosh Hashono 5756 (1995) saw us in the first floor of our new Shul. In 5762 (2002) we completed the second floor (which includes a lecture hall, classrooms, and library).
