After 14 successful years with Mayanot, first as Director of the Men's JSP Program 'Judaic Studies Program' and then as overall Men's Program Director, Rabbi Chaim Moss has decided to pursue new endeavors and will be leaving Mayanot at the end of this year’s summer program.
Rabbi Moss is working together with Rabbis Gestetner and Shemtov to make this transition as seamless as possible. Not without its challenges, these past 14 years have seen us achieve many successes together.

At a recent breakfast event, well-known philanthropist David Schottenstein explained why he supports Mayanot. 
David and Eda Schottenstein have been partnering with Mayanot for over a decade. At a recent breakfast in Jerusalem, in support of Mayanot, David responded to a question that many ask. Why do you give to Mayanot, an educational organization, when there is so much need and you can give directly to poor people?


Schottenstein explains, “An organization like Mayanot takes people who may otherwise not have a connection to yiddishkeit, and they become completely involved. These same people end up being huge donors to a number of organizations. People, who otherwise may have been donating to an art museum or to the symphony come through Mayanot and they raise their families with Jewish commitment…To me, Mayanot is really one of the best investments Eda and I have ever made.
