    “The sessions the rabbi hosts have been amazing for me. I wasn’t entirely sure I would have been able to find a new synagogue after I moved from Denver. Rabbi Meister has encouraged me to continue my faith and given me an outlet to do so, and I am grateful for that.”

    “Rabbi connected me with Temima, who is an active member of the Jewish community. We go over holidays, topics and questions that I have, and it’s been really helpful. Anybody who wants more information can reach out and get more connected!”

    “It opens up a different way of thinking that most people wouldn’t think about and it connects a lot of things in today’s world you don’t think of.  You don’t think of why or how… But the ability to understand the why or the how at a deeper level is enlightening.”
