I have so benefited from experiencing the warmth of Judaism first-hand and from meeting different types of Jews-thank you for this- it demonstrates true ahavat yisroel and tolerance.
I never had a formal Jewish education or lived in a Jewish community for more than a Shabbat, so I felt I grew in that I can be more comfortably integrated in a Jewish community. I also feel more confident in my prayers and Torah knowledge.

Tanya and Feminine Mystique were two courses most meaningful for me. I felt I could apply Tanya to everyday life, whether in a Jewish setting or not, and I think this one class that really helped me grown an immense amount. Feminine Mystique answered all my questions and cleared up many myths I had in my head. We discussed things that I think every girl wants to know, but may feel uncomfortable to ask.
I thought Ivy League would be a crash course titled: "Everything you need to know about Judaism" or "Full guide to Judaism for Dummies." Luckily, it was not. Instead, Ivy League introduced us to the rather broad, but fascinating world of Jewish thought. The beauty of our birthright, the essential part of our human education, opened before us. We were shocked at what we were missing.
