CURRENTLY WE ARE WORKING ON THE SALON JEWISH STUDIES.

After redesigning the layout, we plan to add a lot of new features and improvements on the structure of the whole directory. The working process will take min. 3 or 4 month. (hopefully)
If you have any questions on that, please feel free to contact us via email: info@elbogen.org.
Also use this email adress, if you want to get involved somehow in the whole project. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
