Is the Kollel learning for a Beginner?
Yes. It is for anyone who wants to discover the beauty of Torah study by engaging in classes or one-one-one Chavrusa learning.

Since COVID has ended, we have resumed the majority of our classes in-person. See the detailed information for each class to see if they have a ZOOM option.

I have no Jewish background, am I still welcome?
Of course! Many of our current members had no previous experience in their Jewish heritage. DATA welcomes all Jews!
