A two year-long program for leaders in business, media, law, and other professions to study Jewish texts, with a special focus on social concerns such as justice, charity, and the treatment of foreigners, and on the relevance of Jewish sources to participants’ professional and daily life. Now in its 11th year, Kolot currently has 200 fellows and 120 (alumni, most of whom meet every two weeks for evening study sessions and occasionally for intensive weekend seminars. Most first-year fellows choose to continue their studies for at least a second year – a clear indication of the program’s success. AVI CHAI is a founding supporter of Kolot.
