Elana Stein
After leaving Migdal Oz ('99-'00), Elana studied at Columbia University for four years, majoring in Jewish History. During that time, as now, she worked on behalf of Jewish causes both here and abroad. She went to Belarus to run a learning leadership program for teenagers under the auspices of YUSSR; she served as the assistant Head Counselor in Moshava, Indian Orchard, as well as Bnei Akiva's Torah Va'Avodah Institute (TVI), and she has participated in and led various Yeshiva University-sponsored kollelim in the United States. And, most recently, she founded the Beit Midrash Program in Camp Morasha, an active beis medrash for college students who wish to devote part of their learning time to teaching campers and staff.
Currently she is learning in the Graduate Program in Advanced Talmud in Stern, where she enrolled in 2004, and is on leave of absence from her doctoral studies (in Religion) at Columbia. Additionally, she has begun to teach this year, including a weekly Gemara shiur in Masechet Kiddushin for Columbia undergrads and speaking engagements in shuls and communities.
