The Maimonides Leaders Fellowship provides the most promising Jewish students on the leading U.S. campuses with a unique opportunity to maximize their ability to succeed in college, relationships, and life with ten seminars that reveal the timeless secrets of ancient wisdom and two unforgettable weekend retreats with 40-50 Rutgers students​. Past retreats have featured speakers such as Hollywood screenwriter David Weiss (Shrek 2, Rugrats, Smurfs, etc.)

​

Maimonides is not like Hebrew School. It is an interactive, vibrant, relevant exploration of how Jewish wisdom can make each student more inspired, passionate, and successful. The weekly seminars provide an opportunity to step away from the stresses of student life and learn how to maximize your success in life, relationships, school, and the workplace, in a warm, safe, and open environment. You will hear from some of the most dynamic speakers on the Jewish circuit and meet fascinating Jewish leaders.

​

You will also have the opportunity to develop friendships that last a lifetime during the seminars and on the retreats.
