JEWISH QUESTIONS TESTIMONIALS
“Rabbi Jon was and remains the most unique religious leader I’ve ever met and learned from. Similar to how I misassumed Jewish people’s acceptance of me, I had an image of what a Rabbi ‘should’ look like stored in memory from all the stereotypical content I’d been exposed to up until that point (Sex and the City, Fiddler on the Roof, you get it). Rabbi Jon challenged all of that, in the most refreshing way possible...nd them more. The understanding turned to more questioning, which eventually transformed into how I started living my life - not out of obligation, but out of a desire to be a part of it. A pure and genuine interest in the lifestyle I was getting a peek into. A calling maybe, that told me to continue exploring, dig in deeper, see what’s around the corner, keep going.” ”
“Jewish Questions was the perfect class for me because it inspired me to question, research and challenge the subjects we were studying. That passion hasn’t left me even after I finished the class years ago.”

“When my now husband and I signed up for Avram’s Jewish Questions Class 1 week before NYC went into lock down I had no idea what to expect from our first zoom session together. 1 year of Jewish Questions and many Zoom classes later, I am so grateful to Avram for the rich and compelling texts that we were exposed to through his course, the incredible book recommendation that he made, and for his unwavering enthusiasm for Judaism! The love centered approach to unpacking the complexity of the Jewish faith in this course is REAL and left me with a lot to think about in my new life as a Jew.” ”
