MTE is an exciting learning winter retreat designed for college students with limited background in Jewish studies who desire to learn more about their heritage and explore Jewish texts, while enjoying recreation and leisure. The daily learning schedule will include Chassidus, Chumash, introduction to Talmud, Halacha and evening lectures. Throughout the 9 days of learning, we'll offer recreation every day in a beautiful climate and partake in two trips including a snorkeling endeavor in Key Largo which is known to contain some of the most beautiful reefs in the world.
The program will be hosted in Miami, Florida from Tuesday, December 29, 2009 - Thursday, January 7, 2010. As an introductory special, we're offering full scholarships and travel subsidies of up to $300 to those students who apply before November 20, 2009.
This program was initiated after many requests from Campus Shluchim that there be a similar attractive program to “Snorkel and Study” for Men. Having successfully directed the Ivy League Torah Study Experience this past summer, I fully understand the need and potential success for this program, and am passionate about providing this new experience.

Tel Aviv and farbrengens with Mrs. Bronya Shaffier, Mrs. Miriam Swerdlov and
Mrs. Olivia Schwartz respectively.

The City of Vienna and the Board of higher academic education both had a strong role of encouraging and creating a Jewish university in the city of Vienna. The city, granted the beautiful buildings and grounds, which once were the dwellings of Austrian royalty, Maria TeresaA prestige "Fachochschule" degree, which is usually only awarded to universities with 1000 or more students, was given to the school, although we only aim for 240 students during the 8 semesters of this program.
Mr. Ronald Lauder and the Lauder Foundation, joined into this project, by donating 5 million Euros to restore the building, and Bank Austria, built new quarters on the campus.
At the same time, The Jewish Heritage found was established, to give an equal opportunity to Jewish students from Eastern Europe, hence, providing them with a full scholarship, which includes, on campus residence, and kosher meals. And to provide Jewish life and atmosphere on the campus.
The university has on campus programs, celebrating Shabbos and Jewish Holidays. There is also a possibility to study Hebrew and Judaic studies, taught by Rabbi Z. Edelman as part of the curriculum.
