Program dates:
Sunday, June 24th through Monday, July 30th 2007
The aim of the program is to provide the tools for
independent Jewish learning, by engaging Fellows in a
stimulating introduction to the "Great Books of
Judaism". The Tools for a Lifetime of
Learning
Belzberg Fellows will be introduced to Talmud,
philosophy, history, Kabbalah and Hasidism, and to
issues confronting Israel and contemporary Judaism. They
will be challenged to understand the principles of
Jewish learning, by studying with renowned rabbis,
gifted teachers and intellectually curious peers.
An Open and Personal Approach
The Belzberg Fellowship
is a unique opportunity to delve into Jewish thought in
an intimate and intellectually stimulating environment.
Belzberg Fellows will enjoy the same rigorous and open
approach that characterizes all Mayanot programs.
Courses will be conducted by Mayanot full-time staff and
rabbis, who have years of experience teaching beginners
the fundamentals of Jewish learning.
Six Weeks in the Heart of Jerusalem
Set in the heart of
Jerusalem, the Mayanot campus is a few minutes' walk
from the Western Wall. There is no better place to
experience Jewish life in the 21st century, and to
explore one's own sense of Judaism.
Textual studies will be
complemented by weekly excursions, each one reflecting a
different aspect of Jewish history and Israel. In
addition to jeep tours, hikes and other active
day-trips, there is an exciting and spiritual program
for each Shabbat.

Fellows will reside in the student
residence and have open access to Mayanot
facilities, including an extensive library, study
areas, gardens and social areas.

generosity of Marc and
Chantal Belzberg, the Fellowship covers all expenses in Israel, including
tuition and room and board. There is a
small number of grants for round-trip airfare to
