Kollel
A Kollel is an institution for advanced study of Jewish texts, primarily the Talmud and Torah. It typically consists of married men who dedicate their time to learning and teaching, often receiving financial support from the community or donors. Kollels aim to deepen participants' understanding of Jewish law and philosophy.
In a Kollel, scholars engage in intensive study, often in pairs or small groups, fostering a collaborative learning environment. Many Kollels also offer classes and lectures to the broader community, promoting Jewish education and engagement. This structure helps preserve and transmit Jewish traditions and knowledge across generations.
