Jews anchor their spiritual and religious life in the study of our sacred texts and tradition. I am particularly proud that most people point to my teaching ability as one of my greatest strengths. I firmly believe that “informed choice” is the right of every modern Jew, but that means modern Jews must have the Basic Judaism and Lifelong Jewish Education to make their choices. Contact me for information about in-person and live on-line Jewish Education opportunities of all types--from Torah Study to Basic Judaism to Jewish Study tours around the world. Every opportunity is a chance to deepen your Jewish Identity.
