“Nearly fifteen years ago I discovered a class being offered by Rabbi Mendelow. This event changed my life. Since then I have taken dozens of classes covering every aspect of Judaism; History, ritual, philosophy, scripture, you name it. These classes have helped me grow as a person and as a Jew. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
