“I recommend this! It was a very interesting way to learn, and I really liked that I could go at my own pace – for example, I could spend as long as needed looking at and understanding the study guide. The material was really interesting, and it was an experience that I really liked.

“I have learned more than I imagined…You made me think in such a way I never thought… There were some times where I felt [the course] was a burden, and there were times where I thought it was a gift. Now, looking back at what I accomplished, I am so glad I did this course… Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

[My daughter] had a wonderful experience…She learned so much from this course and enjoyed everything about it – the fabulous instructor, the course materials, the assignments, and the mix of the individual work, discussions, and live classes. I only heard positive feedback from her throughout the semester.

[My children] are really growing from this experience. They’re not just learning Jewish text, but a kind of independence and responsibility that amazes me.
