Learning Materials

Elul specializes in creating attractive, stimulating and readable study sheets with a particular emphasis on contemporary Israeli sources (Israeli poetry, literature, or other texts in translation, that reflect unique aspects of the Israeli experience).

The sources included in a study sheet appear both in translation (English, French, Russian or Spanish) and in the original Hebrew (mostly for classical texts such as Bible, Midrash etc.). The level of the study sheet can be adapted to the level of the group and the length of the study session.

We explore topics and questions relevant to both Israeli and Diaspora Jews. Sample topics:

  • Jerusalem - such as: From Afar and Close Up; Captured in her dream - The Real and Ideal Jerusalem
  • Roots in Two Landscapes – Israel Diaspora relationships
  • What's Your Name? – on names and identities
  • Lost in Translation – on multicultural encounters
  • Machloket (dispute) – a war or an opportunity?
  • Friendship
  • Birth and Death – Life cycles and their meaning
  • Jewish Time – Jewish holidays such as: Shabbat, Israel Independence day, Israel Memorial day, Tu Bishvat
  • Authority and leadership
