Internships are available for students who study part-time, and there are summer programs for men and women. Before he opened Mayanot, Rabbi Gestetner was the director of the Jewish University Leadership Scholars, a Jerusalem-based organization that ran programs for students spending their year abroad in Israel. Besides classes in Talmud and Jewish studies, Mayanot also offers ulpans, intense Hebrew language courses, and takes students on trips throughout Israel. The esteemed philosopher Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz also has spoken at the institute. Our kinship of faith carries with it an obligation to ensure that the values and heritage of the Jewish people live for ever.
Jewish scholarship is a fine thing.
We have to recreate the Jewish audience. We need to recreate the Jewish home. We need schools for educating Jewish leadership. We need to create a knowledge corps which disperse all over the world. We must teach abstract knowledge, and the laws, and the history, and the language- the Jewish way of life.
