“I literally stumbled upon Mayanot. No other chance encounter has had such a lasting impact on my life. I think it has something to do with the sincerity of both the staff and the student body. Mayanot gave me the tools to learn, understand and appreciate Jewish learning by showing me how to live it with integrity and joy. Years later, Mayanot continues to play a central role in my life."

"Mayanot was a springboard experience for me. The incomparable learning opened my eyes and the homelike environment created by both the faculty and students was wonderful. The most amazing thing I learned at Mayanot was that Judaism is not a separate entity in my life but gives meaning to everything I do. Being in the heart of Jerusalem enhanced everything."
