"The classes were wonderful! The teachers were incredibly knowledgeable and you could tell that their Torah learning was deep and genuine. The classes were accessible and the teachers really 'brought down to earth' all the concepts that most of us find confusing. There was a real love for learning in the air. The atmosphere was so friendly and accepting that I felt I could ask any question and not be embarrassed. -- Andrea Grinberg, Musician (cellist), Chicago |
