Society Mission

The Mission of the Maimonides Society is to promote fellowship among Jewish physicians, dentists and health care professionals at the doctorate level (henceforth referred to as doctors) in St. Louis, and support Jewish causes in the local community and around the world.

Society Objectives

• Develop a sense of camaraderie among local Jewish doctors within the context of the organized Jewish community. This also would provide a mechanism for welcoming new Jewish doctors to the community.
• Strengthen our commitment to Jewish values and traditions through educational and cultural programs and activities.
• Foster the development of leadership roles for Jewish doctors within the organized Jewish community of St. Louis.
• Serve as a forum for medical issues from a Jewish perspective and as a resource for the Jewish and general communities.
• Provide continuing medical and dental education.
• Support the activities of the Jewish Federation of St. Louis and to assist in increasing revenues from Jewish doctors to preserve and enhance Jewish life through annual gifts to the Campaign of the Jewish Federation of St. Louis.

Moses Maimonides

For many, Maimonides, the 12th century Jewish physician, philosopher and Torah scholar, personifies the Jewish Renaissance man. His concern for the welfare of others, belief in the importance of every Jew giving tzedakah, and his compassion as a healer embody the values and goals of the Maimonides Society.
