An institution that promotes the joint study of classical and modern Jewish texts by religious and secular participants. Elul, one of the pioneers in this field, currently runs two batei midrash programs (a core beit midrash and a beit midrash for storytellers), and trains and provides guidance to other learning communities throughout the country. Elul also runs 30 learning communities, which draw more than 450 people who regularly study texts together. In addition, hundreds more attend special study events sponsored by communities across the country. AVI CHAI is a major supporter of Elul‘s activities.
