Mayanot Institute of Jewish Studies

About Mayanot Institute of Jewish Studies

The Mayanot Institute of Jewish Studies aims to cultivate an awareness of Jewish identity and a passion for the Jewish future. This is accomplished through an institute of higher learning in Jerusalem, educational trips to Israel and social, cultural, social-action and religious events on campuses and in cities around the world. Our mission is to provide an education that is suitable for students with little prior knowledge of Jewish texts and to provide young adults with an education that places an emphasis on intellectually rigorous Jewish scholarship, combined with experiencing Israel and Jewish spirituality, in a nurturing and welcoming environment.
