Mission Statement
The Kollel Jewish Learning Center is dedicated to increasing one’s ability to comprehend classical Jewish texts, and fostering an awareness and appreciation for Torah scholarship and Jewish knowledge in the context of everyday life. Through a shared obligation to the values of community and education, both central tenets of our rich heritage, the Kollel provides a wide spectrum of opportunities to explore one’s passions through a Jewish lens with real depth, authenticity, and meaning.
About This Cause
From its inception the Kollel has succeeded in sparking a revival of Jewish learning in Pittsburgh. Kollel programs have flourished, inspiring a renewed focus on Jewish education in organizations and synagogues community wide. The Kollel’s unique blend of inspired young scholars and committed volunteers has resulted in greater Jewish education opportunities for our entire community with a wide array of programs designed to educate all who are interested in exploring the richness of their Jewish heritage, religion, and culture. The Kollel also offers post-graduate fellowships for promising young rabbis and their families and trains them to fill the need for pulpit rabbis, teachers, administrators, and outreach personnel. Our scholars teach and facilitate Jewish education throughout the Jewish community, partnering with area synagogues, the AJL, Jewish University Center, the Jewish Federation, Hillel Academy and the JCC. The Kollel Jewish Learning Center is open every day of the year, presenting a wide variety of classes, as well as topical seminars and special events. Kollel programs are designed to make Jewish education accessible to every interested person, male or female, young or old, regardless of background or Jewish experience. We consider our audience to be the entire Jewish community of Greater Pittsburgh, an estimated 45,000 people as of the last census estimate done by the Jewish Federation.
