Guest Speakers… Our guest speakers are experts in the fields of government, finance, ethics, medicine, environmentalism, literature, philosophy and science, as well as leaders and activists who work tirelessly for the Jewish people. Their common denominator is that they all share a passion for Judaism, and they come to us to share their unique insights into our heritage. Past guest speakers and topics have included: Dr. William Kolbrener, Senior Lecturer in the Dept. of English at Bar Ilan University Mrs. Ora Sheinson, Founder and Director of Canfei Nesharim, A Jewish Environmental Organization; and Environmental Litigation Associate at Patton Boggs, LLP, an international law firm

In the past, fieldtrip activities have included a tour of Hatzolah, the Jewish community’s own volunteer emergency medical service, the Oneg Shabbos food pantry, the Living Torah Museum (this was a favorite for Maimonides past participants!), a matzah baking factory, plus much more, including our own personal musical performance by Rav Shmuel ( www.ravshmuel.com ). Journal Entries… Students are asked to submit one journal entry a week, reflecting on that week's experiences. They can be 5 pages, 5 paragraphs, or even just 5 lines. The main thing is that they’re personal, serious, and insightful. Your local MEOR Rabbi is encouraged to respond to each journal entry. Continuing Education Cash Stipend… Upon completion of the Fellowship, students are awarded a $300 stipend. The stipend is given in order to foster commitment to the Fellowship in light of all the other extracurriculars and to encourage students to prioritize the Fellowship seriously and organize their calendars accordingly. Additionally, students are encouraged to use the stipend as a means to manifest the Jewish education they are getting – whether through giving some or all of it to charity, through building a Jewish library for themselves, or giving themselves the opportunity to go on an Israel trip. If a student needs the stipend for personal expenses, no questions are asked. The Fellowship stipend is prorated based upon attendance and is disbursed upon successful completion of the program and completion of a program survey. In Summary… The Maimonides Leaders Fellowship provides a Judaism that is relevant and empowering, sophisticated and energizing. It lets Judaism speak for itself, from texts that are wise and sensitive, while responding to students’ questions and curiosities. NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS! To apply now…Click here!

The MEOR Israel Trip-of-a-Lifetime
#2 - We tour all the important museums and educational must-sees that Israel has to offer, including Har Herzl, Yad Vashem, the underground Western Wall tunnel system, the old city of Jerusalem, and the Ancient City of David. #3 - During the morning hours, we connect intellectually and spiritually to our rich, Jewish heritage through lectures, talks and discussions with an all-star cast of world class Rabbis, lecturers, and authors, in a relaxed, comfortable environment, that encourages students to question, ponder and understand the wisdom, depth and meaning that is their Jewish birthright. Lastly, besides for our awesome excursions up north and down south, we are situated most of the time in a beautiful hotel in the heart of Jerusalem, so students have the opportunity to experience, blend in and acclimate to Israeli society. Whether you've been to Israel before or not, this is an opportunity to create a lifetime of memories connecting to Israel on a whole new level.
