"You really helped me to get in touch with my feelings and
understand why being Jewish is so important to me ("Becoming A More Observant Jew"). Also, your workshop on "Stress Management" was a very
exciting learning experience for me.
I use the relaxation techniques every day."
Rimma Khodosh, Director
Early Childhood Education, Temple Shalom, Chicago, Illinois.
"Your workshop ("Helpful
Ways of Dealing With Difficult Students") was my "high" from
CAJE 14. Your teaching about
Tikun of the soul will resound in my ears for some time to come. I know
that it will change the way that I approach difficult situations in the
classroom, with parents, with my co-workers, my family, my relatives, and
anywhere that I encounter a "difficult" person. Thank you so much for
this "gem." -
Arlene Schuster, Director
of Education, Temple B'nai Torah, Mercer Island, Washington.

"You really gave me
something I could use to help me experience G-d. I was praying three times a
day but I could not feel G-d so I left Jewish practices. The most important
thing I learned was the necessity of prayer, the necessity of unifying with
G-d. I liked the depths of your talks and the range of topics.”
Yuval Lapide - Frankfurt, Germany
"What you have to offer
is exactly what European Jewish
students need. You really know how to speak on their level."
Robert Baruch - Leiden, Holland. Presidium; World ORT 2000
"You are able to discuss a variety of important topics and then
synthesize them into a coherent meaningful presentation."
Muriel Teitelbaum - Zurich University
“You were talking not as
somebody from above, but much rather than somebody who understands what we were
talking about, and you used examples we understood to illustrate it. You know
exactly how to get the most out of the people listening to you.”
Mathiab Hirsch, Essungen, Switzerland
“Your workshop made me
realize that I don’t know anything about Judaism and that I should do something
to change it. The most important thing that I learned was that a lot of things
which are illogical to me seem to have an answer.”
Heim Daphna, Kilchberg, Switzerland
“You really care about what
the participants are interested in.”
Naomi Beer, Budapest
“I liked the most about your
workshop the possibility of interaction with every person, it was touching.”
