Chabad's website reports of "the first Chabad-Lubavitch yeshiva in Western Europe for Jewish youth who did not grow up in traditional homes." : "Tora Kolleg – it’s pronounced “Torah college” – opened in September at the Rohr Chabad Center, a grand structure that houses a synagogue, restaurant, student and education center, library, Jewish ritual bath and Judaica shop. The yeshiva offers students the chance immerse themselves in a comprehensive study of Jewish texts while completing their secular degrees. Those still in high school can elect to complete their general studies requirement through an affiliated school, while those in university can supplement their secular course load with classes in Torah, Talmud, Jewish law and Jewish mysticism."
What they might neglect to say in their article, is that there one other Orthodox Yeshiva in Berlin (the Beth Zion Yeshiva), as well as Abraham Geiger Kolleg, which trains and ordains Reform Rabbinical Students.
The Chabad House and the place where Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson has lived in Berlin could be visited as part of Jewish-Berlin's Jewish Life in West Berlin and Jewish Life in Tiergarten tour.
More information about Synagogues in Berlin is available on Jewish Berlin as well.
