Rabbi Nesanel Fettman

After his marriage, he settled in Toronto and learned for 10 years in Rabbi Muller’s Kollel (also known as the Chassidishe Kollel). During those years, Rabbi Fettman worked individually with many bochurim of all ages to build up their Emunah, self-esteem, and learning skills. Rabbi Fettman joined Rabbi Zwebner in founding Yeshiva Kesser Yosef to provide a truly unique environment to enable any talmid with a desire for success, to reach unimaginable heights. Rabbi Fettman has the special ability to make Emunah something real and tangible for his talmidim. He also can break down a Gemara in a way that enables talmidim on different levels to all come away with a feeling of clarity and understanding of the sugya. |

Aside from taking care of all aspects of the functioning of the yeshiva, Rabbi Zwebner enjoys getting each and every talmid to believe in themselves as much as we believe in them. To reach for the heavens... and get there! |
