JIS Students’ Comments About The High Holidays Handbook

  • “The High Holidays Handbook was a major influence on how I approached the High Holidays. After studying these lessons, I did feel that I understood their real meaning and purpose; knowing this gave me more confidence. Jacklyn (Scotland)
  • “By taking this course, I have become enlightened to the point that I am becoming active with a local synagogue. I am looking forward to spending a lot of time in synagogue this holiday season.” Steve (Florida)
  • “I just wanted to thank you for presenting the High Holidays course.  I found it to be very informative and enriching and intellectually stimulating.  It has encouraged me to further advance my quest to acquire more knowledge about Judaism.
  • Thank you very much for your assistance throughout the course. I feel that the great amount of personal attention not only helped to make the course "live," versus being just a dry reading of some text, but it also made me feel "special." Someone else cared enough about me to help me in my quest to learn more about my heritage.” Rochelle (West Virginia)
  • “I enjoy reading the modules and comments. Working full time makes it impossible for me to learn in a proper lecture setting.” Eva (Ontario, Canada)
