“Until this program, I was never taught about Judaism through philosophy and ethics. The Maimonides program has given me knowledge of Judaism unlike any previous knowledge I have. All of a sudden, my desire to learn about the Jewish culture and the Jewish faith has exploded. I have become more and more curious about myself and about my heritage since day one of the program. More importantly that sitting in a classroom, have been the Shabbatons and day trips. Going to Far-Rockaway was also an experience of a life-time. Having doors opened for me, with a “good Shabbos”, was such an amazing feeling of family. The traditions, laws, and philosophies I’ve learned by just being immersed in the culture are priceless”-Ben G.”The Maimonides program has had a huge effect on my life so far. I was always proud to be Jewish, but I really didn’t know why. I didn’t really understand most of the traditions my family had, I didn’t understand the religion that much, and I just didn’t understand Judaism. The Maimonides program has not just taught me what Judaism is, but it has also opened a whole realm of curiosity inside of me.”
-Michael B.
