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)
