ABOUT US
Sinai Scholars Society integrates the study of classic Jewish texts, social programming, and national networking opportunities to provide a fresh and exciting context for Jewish life and learning on the university campus. Sinai Scholars invites students to engage in an open community of study and self-discovery that will help them to become passionate, informed Jewish leaders on campus and in their respective communities.
The 3 pillars of Sinai Scholars Society:
1. DISCOVER your rich heritage
The curriculum at the Sinai Scholars Society doesn’t just pick up where Hebrew school left off. Our courses present the living tradition of authentic Jewish scholarship. We address important issues in modern life in light of the ancient sources, and give you a chance to find your voice in a discussion that stretches across three millennia. Intriguing, challenging, and sophisticated, the learning experience at Sinai Scholars—both within and outside of the classroom—draws you into the pure pleasure of Torah study. More than inspiring and thoughtful, it is also fun.
2. CONNECT with other Jewish students on campus
Participants will have the chance to interact with other students across the country as well as distinguished figures from the world of business and public life as they engage in this unique prospect for personal and professional growth. Fellowship in the society continues after completion of the program, and will offer growing opportunities to interact with an ever-expanding network of fellow students and Jewish leaders across the country.
3. Become an EMPOWERED Jewish leader
Since its inception, Sinai Scholars has been changing the face of Jewish student leadership. Fellowship in the Society is for life. Even after students step off campus, Sinai Scholars continues to empower its fellows with the knowledge, skills, and abundant opportunities to help them become powerful Jewish leaders—wherever life takes them.

USC, Los Angeles, California - This course was by far one of the most important things that I have studied and I will never forget it.
USC, Los Angeles, California - If I had to point to one aspect ... it made us think of Judaism as something that's part of our everyday lives & not just a Friday & High Holidays affair.
USC, Los Angeles, California - I feel like Judaism is more part of who I am after participating in Sinai Scholars because I understand much more of the "why" of Judaism.
USC, Los Angeles, California - ...I am no longer the kid who simply accepts Judaism because I am Jewish, but rather I can see the true value & importance of Judaism in living a just & moral life.
USC, Los Angeles, California - All in all, I now have a completely new understanding of my religion.
Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts - There are so many things that I could have gone my whole life not knowing that I know now, and I’m very thankful that I took this class.
Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts - I’m definitely now much more proud of my religion than I ever was before.
