Values

Mentoring
Providing positive role models within the Jewish community who embody Jewish Values.

Integrating the experiences and learning within a Jewish community.
The RJX builds Knowledge through the group lectures of the Maimonides Leaders Fellowship , the interactive discussions in the Sinai Xperience, and private tutorials. No topic is taboo, and every question is a good one.
RJX Mentoring personalizes the knowledge and fosters growth and development for each individual. No matter what is on your mind, we are there for you, from the Hebrew alphabet to the Torah's take on relationships. You'll see us in the coffee shops and student centers throughout the campus, talking about Torah, ethics and life.
The RJX ensures that the growth and development of each individual is connected to the overall Jewish Community through student run events, on campus shabbatons in the tri-state area, and trips to Israel.
