SINAI SCHOLARS SOCIETY LAUNCHED AT UNF By Sam Rosenbloom, President of the UNF Jewish Ospreys
Jewish Students gather for Shabbat Candle Lighting at Chabad at UNF
A new, innovative Jewish learning program is kicking off at UNF. Sinai Scholars Society presents compelling and explorative courses developed by some of the foremost Jewish thinkers of our time. The program 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. We invite 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 communities.
Participants will interact with other students across the country and distinguished fi gures from the world of business and public life. Fellowship in the society continues after completion of the program, and off ers growing opportunities to interact with an expanding network of students and Jewish leaders across the country. “The response at UNF has been
overwhelming,” said Rabbi Shmuli Novack who oversees Chabad at UNF. “We are beyond pleased with the overwhelming response. Our fi rst course is at full capacity. Providing the stipend is crucial if we are to grab the full attention and commitment of a student already juggling classes, a job or two and the extracurricular activities that all vie for their time.” Boaz Levy, a sophomore shared, “I am excited to connect with fellow minded students while learning about our shared faith and hopefully uncovering new signifi cance to my heritage and its application in my life.” Participants receive a stipend of $350.
