OWNING THE JEWISH FUTARE

A B O U T E V E N T H O N O R E E S J O U R N A L P H O T O S H O M E At Mayanot, I found an incredibly brilliant, loving and fun group of women and teachers that changed the way I view my Jewish identity. I discovered spirituality and tools for leading a more enriching life. I have since taken on study opportunities with friends & community members, and commit time to philanthropic projects. This powerful experience not only benefited me, but my community, as well. – Sarah Goelitz | 2015 Alum | Arizona Mayanot is open and welcoming to people of all backgrounds and experiences. I could never have known how much I would gain, and how much I would learn about my own heritage, and how connected I would feel to my Judaism and my Jewish identity, after coming here. – Ruben Mizrahi | 2016 Alum | Venezuela I began studying philosophy, neurobiology and psychology with a Jewish friend, and realized I needed to learn more about my Jewish heritage and how G-d fits into my life. I came to Mayanot to learn the foundations of Jewish thought and modern Jewish life. This experience has reframed my whole spiritual outlook in such a positive new way, and I couldn’t be more grateful for this opportunity. – Miriam Barsova | 2016Alum | Moscow This is my first experience learning Talmud, and it’s like a muscle in my brain that I’ve never used before. Now I know what it is I need to study because I know I want to take what I’ve learned here and keep learning, no matter where I am. – Eric Maurer | 2014Alum | Massachusetts
