What is Elevate Shiurim?

Elevate Shiurim is a nonprofit organization run by volunteers that inspires busy frum women to reignite their passion for Torah and personal growth through captivating and interactive weekly shiurim. We create a nurturing space where women from around the world can connect daily, engage with esteemed speakers, and build a foundation for lifelong growth.

How do the shiurim work?

Our shiurim are live on Zoom, giving you the chance to ask questions and interact with the teachers. Here's how it works:

  • Join the class directly from the Elevate website: Once you’ve paid for a shiur, and it’s time for the class (or 15 minutes before), you’ll see a "Join Live Class" button on the Homepage or in your "My Shiurim" section (in the menu bar). Click on it, and you’ll be taken directly to Zoom without needing to enter a Zoom ID or password.
  • Join from a different device: If you want to join from another device, go to your "My Shiurim" page, click on the series you want to join, and click the small button under the series image labeled "See Zoom ID." Here, you’ll find the Zoom ID and password.

After the live shiur, the recording and video will be posted on the site, and you can catch up anytime.
