“I’m not Jewish, but I’m a member of Keneseth Israel and I’m still learning some of the words and some of the holiday traditions. I learned a lot and loved your program. You were so funny, and you made it so interesting; I could have listened to you girls for hours more.”
– Ed Michael, Lehigh Valley JCC, Allentown, PA

 

“Your program was fabulous! Your presentation evoked so many wonderful memories for our seniors. Not only did they enjoy learning something new, they also loved being able to share their own experiences as well. We thank you for a job well done!”

– Jill H. Rall, Abramson Center for Jewish Life, North Wales, PA
