Explore our programs Learn more about us

ELIY opens a wide window for diverse groups to take a close look into the depth of Haredi life — through tours, lectures, study days and get-to-know-you sessions, eye-level learning and dialogue meetings, panels and bridge-building conversations, and above all: authentic hospitality over experiential Shabbat weekends in Haredi communities across the country.

The ELIY Association is a new organizational framework for long-standing, intensive activity that has been running for over twenty years, led by Rabbi Eli Linker and a team of dedicated volunteers, working to strengthen unity in Israeli society and to empower it as a Jewish and tolerant society.
