Email-small world story
What a small world we live in. I was one of three on the Beit Din of a wonderful young lady this afternoon. Her name is Val.The Rabbi at the Reform Temple here tries to have someone that has converted to Judaism on the panel. This time I was fortunately asked. Through the course of questions, Val and I discovered that weboth know your through your videos! The others on the panel were at a loss to our excitement. We both had big smiles on our faces and it really broke the ice. ValWe had a chance to talk after the Beit Din, before her Mikvah, about all the things we learned from you. We both lived rather far awayfrom a Synagogue and your were our lifeline to Judaism. I hope you understand the scope of the good work that you do. I personally can't thank you enough for what you have done for me.Today's experience taught me that I am not alone in feeling this way. Scott
Videos of Jewish education
Welcome. I have watched several of your videos and believe they belong on the book shelves of both learned and learning Jews. Here are the main aspects I found particularly useful:
1. Concise and clarity in explaining the essentials of Judaism;
2. Individual themes covered in several videos, when applicable, effectively avoiding an 'overdose' effect;
3. Use of simple and practical metaphores to illustrate;
4. Relatedness to contemporary society on several of the key topics, weekly Torah Parsha in particular;
5. The "How To" sections, eg Talit wear, candle lighting - a practical aspects notably absent in traditional texts;
6. Middle ground discussion of traditionally sensitive topics, eg women's rights, putting the Holy texts in context.
I would add to a dynamic narration, where the enthusiasm of the author shows, and should raise equal enthusiasm among readership.
In view of the above, I was not surprised to see your academic accomplishments in the rabinic world, as listed on home page of your website.
Hag kasher v’sameah,
JL.
