MEOR Rutgers

What began as a Jewish mentorship experiment on a single university campus has quickly grown into a masterwork of Jewish engagement operating on 21 prominent college campuses across the country and beyond.

Launched in 2005, MEOR’s unique brand of Jewish leadership training, sophisticated text-based study and experiential education programming highlights the importance of Jewish values, identity and community. In just over a decade, MEOR has impacted more than 18,000 undergraduate students, encouraging them to connect with Judaism on their own terms and in their own time.

In 2016, MEOR established post-university programming to ensure that its alumni would have a familial Jewish framework for sustained growth as young professionals.

Now in its second decade, MEOR continues to ignite the Jewish flame within a new generation of young Jewish leaders who are hungry for community, continuity and connectivity.

Someone needs to surround them with friends and mentors who can strengthen their connections to their heritage. Someone needs to bring them together to show them the power of community and unity. Someone needs to ignite their world

Born and raised in NY, Rabbi Goldberg spent two years in Jerusalem and went on to receive his BA and MA in Talmudic studies from Beth Medrash Govoha in Lakewood, NJ, before founding Meor RJX in 2004, He enjoys discussing Torah, football (as a long suffering Miami Dolphins fan, Rabbi Goldberg hopes to see a Dolphin super bowl win before he has great grandchildren) and urban culture – not necessarily in that order – with Jewish students. Rabbi Goldberg’s infamous cholent he makes every Shabbat is currently being experimented with by Elon Musk as alternative energy source. He and his wife Estie reside in Lakewood, together with their children.
