Welcome to Leonard L. Loeb Society of Jewish Scholars!

The mission of the Leonard L. Loeb Society of Jewish Scholars is to enable Jewish high school students to actualize their potential in the areas of Jewish activism (Tikkun Olam) and Scholarship. We accomplish this by introducing the students to successful models of community activism; and to the study of text and ideas that have formed the Jewish attitude toward giving and making a difference, over the millennia. Our success will be measured by the degree to which our scholars see their experience as the beginning of a life dedicated to personal Jewish enrichment, for the purpose of improving the condition of the Jewish community, and the world at large.

The program is under the direction of Rabbi Yehoshua Karsh, director of the Torah Learning Center of Northbrook. It is open to Jewish high school students from the Chicago metropolitan area, of every Jewish background and level of religious observance.
