Programs

Maimonides I
In Maimonides, you will convene weekly for 2.5-3 hour seminars, featuring guest speakers like Jewish scientists, teachers of mysticism, physicians, and black-belt martial artist rabbis, as well as lectures and discussions linking you, the modern Jewish student, with the ancient wisdom of your Jewish heritage. You will explore deeply topics such as Shabbat, the Jewish Holidays, Relationships, Why We Do the Things We Do, Kosher, G-d and Jewish Spirituality, Gender in Judaism and much more.

Maimonides II

One-on-One Learning
If you’re game, so are we. Without the fellowships, without the fanfare, One-on-One is simply the way it was always supposed to be. Choose any topic you like. Ask whatever’s on your mind. Learn with any member of staff at your leisure, tuned to your schedule. You bring the enthusiasm and leave the coffee to us. Click here to meet our tutors.

Law School & Med School Lunch-and-Learn
The Maimonides Law & Medical Lunch-and-Learns are forums for examining the deeper philosophical issues of Jewish basics and exploring its relevance to our lives, our work, and our society. The student of law will find the study of the ancient Jewish code to be stimulating in its depth, challenging in its ideas, as well as surprisingly applicable to the modern condition. The student of medicine will find the study of Jewish medical ethics and comtemporary issues in the light of Jewish law particularly enlightening to his or her own future practice.
