What They're Saying...

I wanted to thank you for your incredible shemitah presentation. The material was interesting, well organized, and age-appropriate. The cherry on the top was how interactive it was. You pulled out so much from the boys. This is a challenge in person all the more so over zoom. You did it seamlessly and it showed as the boys were on the edge of their seats the entire time. Thank you for sharing your time with us. We felt privileged to learn from a master teacher. Shemitta truly came alive for us.

Every night in our house we have a "special question" at dinner. Last night's question was "Something in your day that started with the letter B" - 

Tzvi, my 3rd grader, answered " I have to say something too important that does not begin with a B. I learned a lot about Israel today but nothing we were taught starts with a B, but I still want to share it all!" 

and he did!

Thank you for enriching the lives of our students (and children!)!

Thank you for a most comprehensive, informative and enjoyable Shemitta presentation. I personally found it so informative as well and your slides showing the various products and the meaning of each of the hashgachos was fabulous. The short video clips as well truly brought this area of halacha to life and I believe left the talmidim with a lesson in emuna that is unparalleled in many respects.

Your brief overview of the issues they will need to be aware of next year when they spend the year learning in Eretz Yisrael personalized this presentation for them in a way I think they will fully appreciate next year.

Wishing you beracha vehatzlacha vekol tuv
