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.

If you are interested in learning with our Kollel, please contact Rabbi Tzvi Rosenshein
Are your classes online?
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!
