About Learning Together
Rav Eliyahu deeply enjoys learning Torah — and sharing it with others even more. It’s a joy to help students develop the skills to understand Torah texts: from reading and translating the original Hebrew and Aramaic, to thinking clearly and analyzing what the text is truly teaching.
Our learning is paced according to your needs. We take the time to explore each word and concept fully, so that the Torah comes alive — and can be lived.
Online Learning
Using Teams or Zoom, we can learn face-to-face — one-on-one or in a group (up to 10 participants if you have friends who’d like to join the same shiur). Many classic Torah texts are available for free online, or you can use your own printed copy and take notes directly in it.
Interactive, Stimulating Learning
Torah learning should never be dry or passive. I aim to create a positive, engaging experience with meaningful give and take. Sometimes, it’s the student who shares a fresh insight — and we both grow together.
Choose What Inspires You
There’s so much to explore. The best way to begin is by considering how much time you can devote to learning, what subjects you’re drawn to, and how regularly you’d like to learn. You’re welcome to choose a sefer (Torah book) on your own, or speak with me and we’ll decide together what area of Torah would be most meaningful for you right now.
Terms and Conditions for Our Torah Learning Together
To ensure our learning sessions are meaningful, respectful, and mutually beneficial — and to avoid misunderstandings or Halachic complications — please read the following terms carefully:
1. The Value of Your Payment
Your payment supports more than a service — it supports Torah. Paying for a session fulfills the mitzvot of honesty in business and sachar sachir (paying a worker on time), and also enables the ongoing study and teaching of Torah. I’m deeply grateful for your partnership in this sacred work. Your support allows me to continue learning and teaching Torah — something of immeasurable value.
2. Payment Requirements
- All regular students are required to pay for the full month in advance, at the beginning of each month.
- Once-off sessions must be paid for at least 24 hours in advance to secure the time slot. Sessions not paid for in time will be assumed unconfirmed and unbooked.
- No one should attend a lesson without prior payment or assume payment can be made afterward.
3. Cancellations and Missed Sessions
- Sessions must be cancelled at least 48 hours in advance. Any cancellations made later than this will be billed in full.
- Sessions that fall immediately after Shabbat or a festival must be cancelled at least 72 hours in advance.
- No refunds will be given for sessions cancelled outside of these timeframes.
- Arriving late to a session does not entitle the student to extended time or a makeup.
4. Missed Sessions Due to Emergencies
I understand that genuine emergencies can arise. However, when a student does not show up, even due to an emergency, there is still a real loss of time, preparation, and potential income on my side.
In such cases:
- A 50% charge will apply for the missed session as a fair and respectful compensation for time and preparation invested.
- This is not a penalty, but a contribution toward the unavoidable loss your absence has caused.
Students are asked to accept this condition in advance, knowing that the session time is held for them alone and that preparation is done with care and dedication beforehand.
5. Format of Learning
- Learning takes place online via Microsoft Teams or Zoom
- Each lesson lasts for approximately one hour.
- Sessions are either private or group-based. If you’re booking a private lesson, it is for you alone. If another person would like to join, they must arrange their participation and payment in advance.
6. Special Payment Situations
- Students who have received discounted rates due to financial difficulty are expected to pay the full standard rate if they miss a session without proper cancellation.
- Please do not ask for a discount. It undermines the value of the teaching and the dignity of the Torah being taught. The rate reflects the work invested in teaching, preparation, and the ongoing support Torah educators need to provide quality learning.
7. Personal Boundaries
- Our sessions are dedicated exclusively to learning Torah.
- Please do not inquire about Rav Eliyahu’s personal circumstances, reasons for his fees, or his private life decisions. Questions about personal hashkafah (outlook) may be addressed within the framework of the learning material — but not beyond.
8. Payment and Currency
- Payment is accepted via PayPal or Xoom (direct wire transfer) for overseas students and the Bit app or direct bank transfer in Israel for students in Israel.
- Prices are quoted in Israeli Shekels (₪). Please use an online currency converter to check the equivalent in your own currency.
- Israeli residents (whether learning online or in person) are required to pay an additional 18% VAT, in accordance with Israeli tax law. This VAT is not included in the quoted price and will be added to your total. (Alternatively, if I know the service is being provided in Israel in advance, I will quote you the amount mentioning the additional VAT that will be added to your total.)
9. Supporting the Work of Torah
While the sessions themselves are paid, preparing them takes additional time. If you would like to support Rav Eliyahu’s Torah work beyond lessons — especially if you’re learning at a discounted rate — contributions can be made through the same PayPal account. Every bit helps enable more time for teaching and learning.
Final Note
Please take the time to carefully read and understand all the above conditions. By booking lessons, you indicate that you accept and agree to them in full. No exceptions or leniencies will be made, even if you are a long-time student or feel your situation is unique. This is not out of harshness, but rather to uphold fairness, clarity, and respect for Torah and for my time.
Thank you for your understanding, commitment, and support.
Eliyahu
