TZOHAR offers rich and inspiring Jewish learning to area high school students.Participants will enjoy programming each week in two distinct styles: meaningful discussion grounded in the study of classical Jewish texts, and college-style classes provided by professors from the Joseph and Rebecca Meyerhoff Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Maryland.
Moot Beit Din: The Hadar Institute’s Moot Beit Din program aims “to inspire rigorous ethical debate in Jewish legal wisdom, providing students an international stage to engage the most significant moral challenges facing the Jewish community and the world.” Past participants have expressed appreciation for the opportunity to think about important contemporary issues and to share a powerful experience with other Jewish teens from around the world. Participation in the competition is optional.
- Tzohar is a partnership between Ohr Kodesh, Ohev Sholom, Tifereth Israel Congregation, and the University of Maryland.
- Tzohar is open to 8th-12th graders from Montgomery County and Washington, DC.
- Programming will run from 5:30-7:45pm on Sunday evenings at Ohr Kodesh Congregation. An optional special session will be held at the Jewish Studies Library at the University of Maryland.
- Tuition includes dinner for each Sunday evening session.
- The 2026 Moot Beit Din Competition will be held in New York City from March 19-22. Participation is an additional fee of $450 plus the cost of transportation for the program and accommodations (scholarships are available).
