NY:Join Our debate team: engaging, challenging, and fun!

Will you be one of the four teens to represent Shir Hadash in this prestigious national competition?

The Maimonides Moot Court Competition - is a debate by Hadar. Sharp Jewish youth from across the country connect at this event for a meaningful debate! Shir Hadash is sending a four-student team of high school students (9th-11th grade) to participate in this Hadar debate. Jewish teens will tackle modern-day ethical questions using Jewish tradition and wisdom.

In advance of the trip, our four-student team will prepare in California. We'll travel to New York for a Shabbaton, a weekend of connection with Jews from all different denominations. The weekend will culminate after Shabbat with the debate we've been working towards! 

The 2024-25 theme will be released later in the year. The per-teen pricing below includes 3 nights of accomodations, all meals, ground transportation, and programming during the trip.
