Learning Opportunities 

Maimonides I

MEOR’s Maimonides Leaders Fellowship provides the most promising Jewish students on leading U.S. campuses with a unique opportunity to explore Judaism at a level of depth and sophistication commensurate with their academic skills and aspirations. In a dynamic and open environment, students are introduced to classical Jewish philosophy, the relevance of Jewish wisdom to contemporary issues and Jewish perspectives on some of life’s most challenging questions.

Maimonides II

Maimonides II offers students who have already completed the Maimonides Leaders Fellows program the opportunity to pursue the aspects of Jewish knowledge and experiences that they desire most through an exciting and thought-provoking combination of classes, guest speakers, group discussions, one-on-one learning sessions, Shabbatons, field trips and more. Within the Maimonides II framework, students complete a minimum number of semester hours by tailoring their personal learning experience to specific interests, questions, and topics.

One on One Learning

One-on-one learning provides students with the unique opportunity to customize their personal journeys of Jewish growth with a guide who encourages critical thinking, in-depth questioning and open discussion without boundaries.

Women’s Programming

MEOR offers opportunities for young women to discover, explore and celebrate Judaism together. Students are provided with opportunities to ask questions about gender roles, relationships, balancing work and family life, cherished Jewish traditions, women’s leadership and more in a comfortable and supportive environment that is responsive to their sensitivities and concerns. These unique encounters inform and enhance the Jewish experience for participants while allowing them to bond with educators and follow students in deep and meaningful ways.
