ership program, said Rabbi Aaron
Eisemann, program director of the
Jewish Resource Center.
"The idea is to give them a compre-
hensive look at Judaism in order to train
them for Jewish leadership," Rabbi
Eisemann said. "And when I say leader-
ship I don't just mean being president of
your synagogue — every Jew influences
his community and, in that sense, the
more knowledgeable they are the more
equipped they'll be to be a Jewish
leader.
The weekly sessions are broken into
three segments:
• A deeper look at Judaism with
Rabbi Jacobovitz, featuring such topics
as holidays, God, why bad things hap-
pen to good people, inter-dating;
• Small group discussions on open
topics;
• Presentations by guest lecturers that
deal with Jewish ethics, mixing Judaism
with professions, relationships and
more.
The trips outside the classroom
explore the workings of the Jewish com-
munity. Students travel within Ann
Arbor, Detroit and Toronto visiting day
schools, food banks (including Yad Ezra
in Berkley), a funeral home and a mik-
vah.
For Karrie Pollens, 18, a freshman
from Kalamazoo, the program is a
chance to learn and to connect with the
Jewish community.
"Just having Thursday night to go
learn about Jewish things is really nice
for me," she said "I was feeling a little
disconnected from the Ann Arbor
Jewish community when I got here, and
I think this is helping me find my
Jewish place here at college, so that's
cool.
"I really had no idea what I was
walking into I've really liked the way it
turned out. I definitely look forward to
Thursday nights," she said.
Pollens added that after having seen
what the program is about, she would
participate without any kind of financial
incentive.
Future plans for the program include
establishing it on other nights to help
more students be able to fit it into their
schedules as well as expanding it to
other campuses.
"Not only is it a program that is
going to continue, but it's a program
that we're getting requests for from col-
leges around the country. They want to
copy the Maimonides model and we are
all for it," Rabbi Jacobovitz said. "We
are encouraging them to follow our
example. We're more than happy to
export this •idea to other organizations
like ours in other states."
