It’s no secret. Every semester, 20 of Tufts’ top students join a society. A society dedicated to intellectual discovery and lively discussion. A society that explores the fundamental principles of Jewish faith – in fact, of human civilization – as put forth in the Ten Commandments. A society that exists at 45 other schools across the country. The Sinai Scholars Society.

The class meets in Chabad House for eight classes on Thursday nights. Students participate in the discussion, embark on a field trip, experience a Shabbat, write a paper. And when they’re done, they can meaningfully discuss Judaism’s approach to such issues as faith, family, property, medical and business ethics, relationships, and much more.

Qualified students completing the course are awarded a stipend, and are invited to participate in follow-up leadership events both locally and nationally.

For the Fall semester of 2011, the application process has begun.For more info or to apply: www.sinaischolars.com
