Who we are
The word “kollel” is related to the Hebrew word k’lal, which means a community. A community kollel brings Jews of all backgrounds closer to their common heritage.
Most of our learning takes place in our beis medrash on Losantiville Avenue. We also teach in synagogues, office buildings, college campuses, and social halls.
Our mission is to enrich and grow the Cincinnati Jewish community by creating an environment of Torah study and providing access to our spiritual heritage.
