An Integrated Campus Where Every Generation Thrives
What if a campus existed where:
A senior wakes to the sound of children arriving at preschool. A yeshiva student walks from the beis medrash to learn with an elderly chavrusa. A special needs young adult serves coffee in the café alongside teen volunteers. A young educator practices teaching with real students before taking her own classroom. A family drives in for a Shabbaton and stays for the weekend. A hungry person receives a hot meal served with dignity. A stranger wraps tefillin for the first time—and returns because he felt genuinely welcomed.
This is not a fantasy. This is the Eli Schlanger Memorial Campus.
On 227 acres in Connecticut, we are building an integrated ecosystem where six distinct populations live, learn, work, and grow together—each strengthening the others, each finding their place in Jewish community.
Six Populations, One Community
Seniors
Independent living, assisted living, and memory care—with the dignity and community they deserve
Children
Preschool and early childhood programs in a nurturing, Jewish environment
Special Needs Individuals
Friendship Circle programming and vocational training for meaningful engagement and independence
Yeshiva Students
Kollel Zekanim—a dedicated space for intensive Torah study and spiritual growth
Educators in Training
Kollel Mechanchim—preparing the next generation of Jewish educators with mentorship and real classroom experience
The Broader Community
Visitors, guests, and seekers—all welcome to experience Jewish life, learning, and belonging
Kollel Zekanim: The Heart of the Campus
At the center of this vision is the Kollel Zekanim—a dedicated space where seniors and yeshiva students learn together. This is not a retirement community with a synagogue attached. This is a living, breathing center of Torah and community.
Seniors bring decades of life experience, wisdom, and spiritual depth. Yeshiva students bring energy, intellectual rigor, and the joy of discovery. Together, they create something neither could alone: a true transmission of Torah across generations.
And then they left. What they built, we will transform. What served commerce will serve kedusha. What was emptied will be filled—with Torah, with chesed, with children's laughter, with senior wisdom, with the sound of davening and learning and life.
