Mayanot was founded to cultivate an awareness of Jewish identity and a passion for the Jewish people by creating a Jewishly educated leadership.
The Mayanot Men’s & Women’s learning programs help young Jews between the ages of 19 and 29 deepen their Jewish knowledge and commitment while developing their learning skills and mastery of traditional texts.
At Mayanot, students of diverse backgrounds study together in an open yet academically challenging environment. Students are encouraged to question, challenge and explore three thousand years of Jewish wisdom and apply it to contemporary society. This deep immersion nurtures a love for Torah, the Jewish people, Judaism and the Land of Israel.
Graduates of Mayanot programs have been active on 120 campuses and 150 communities worldwide, encouraging more young Jews to participate in Jewish life and inspiring commitment to Judaism and Israel. The experience and opportunity to join the Gift of Life Registry as potential bone marrow donors is exactly this kind of chance, to do good and potentially save a life.
