Maimonides Society of Greater Sacramento

 Jewish medical professionals coming together for social, educational and religious events, while helping local and world Jewish communities.

The Sacramento Maimonides Society was founded to enhance Jewish physicians’ knowledge of Judaism and to strengthen their commitment to the global Jewish community through educational, social, and cultural activities.  As their commitment is enhanced, it is hoped that they will also understand their responsibility to support the UJC/Federation Campaign.
