The Aleph Society

The Aleph Society was founded in 1988 to support and oversee Rabbi Steinsaltz's worldwide network of institutions, educational programs, and publishing projects. With operations in Israel, Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom, the shared goal of Aleph Societies across the globe is the development of Jews, Jewish identity, and Jewish communities. Aleph has given Jews everywhere access to fundamental texts, the skills with which to understand those texts, the motivation to study, and an appreciation for the contributions of fellow Jews of all backgrounds.

In England, British Friends of Rabbi Steinsaltz (BFRS) works to spread the Rabbi's message of Jewish unity and coexistence through the United Kingdom. The teachings of Rabbi Steinsaltz serve as an educational springboard to encourage people from across the spectrum of British Jewry to deepen their connection to Jewish life and heritage. In addition, BFRS promotes awareness of the Rabbi's vital work throughout the world and raises funds for his educational institutions in Israel and the former Soviet Union.

Each office of the Aleph Society coordinates the local publication and distribution of Rabbi Steinsaltz's books and articles, sponsors speaking tours and classes by the Rabbi, and oversees fundraising efforts.
