Jewish study is the incomparable interaction
between student and teacher. Therefore,
all class sizes are small, and one-on-one
learning each day facilitates accelerated
skill acquisition and independence.
Mayanot provides a wide range of opportunities
and courses
for students to fulfill their personal goals
including the following learning tracks:

with a smorgasbord of Jewish ideas. It is
ideal for the student who wants to have a
taste of many styles and topics. The JSP track
is designed as an introductory course for
the serious student who has little to no background
in Hebrew language and textual study. Classes
in JSP
are one hour long and are mainly lecture style.

textual skills and achieving self sufficiency
in independent study. The Bet Midrash Program
emphasizes advanced study of the Talmud, Jewish
Law and Chassidut as well as critical, in-depth
analysis of their supporting texts and commentaries.
Classes in the Bet
Midrash track are generally two hours
long, and comprise of chavrutah (study partner)
style learning and a follow up class.
