"A kolel or kollel (Hebrew: \u05DB\u05D5\u05DC\u05DC\u200E, pl. \u05DB\u05D5\u05DC\u05DC\u05D9\u05DD, kollelim, a \"gathering\" or \"collection\" [of scholars]) is an institute for full-time, advanced study of the Talmud and rabbinic literature. Like a yeshiva, a kolel features shiurim (lectures) and learning sedarim (learning sessions); unlike a yeshiva, the student body of a kolel are all married men. Kolels generally pay a regular monthly stipend to their members."@en .
