Description

As the High Holidays approach, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and the Partners In Torah staff for all of your assistance to me throughout the year. Not a holiday goes by for me as a Chaplain without the use of the literature supplied by Partners In Torah. May HaShem continue to bless you and yours, and give you the strength to continue your outstanding work. B'kavod, Bruce (Baruch) Bublick I just wanted you to know that my mentor/partner (Malka Miller) has been so helpful in helping me re-discover my Jewish roots. I have been Jewish only in name for the major part of my life. 4 years ago, after my mother died, I was drawn to learn more and participate in the religion. Learning on my own was OK but I have learned so much from Malka in just a few months, it is amazing. I would be embarrassed to mention all of the basic things that I didn't know but suffice it to say that my knowledge was on par with a child. There is still so much to learn but at least I am progressing and making different decisions on how I want to deal with situations and live my life. My eyes are beginning to open. You have a wonderful program. Myra My Torah Partner and I have been learning together for the past three years. As soon as we were matched, I felt extremely fortunate. Aside from being the same age and sharing the same name, we had a similar outlook in life, yet hers was infused with an understanding of Judaism and Torah that I did not yet possess. My partner and I first met at the Partners in Torah Appreciation Dinner in May of 2006. I spent the night in her house in Brooklyn, walked around Brookyn, and enjoyed seeing one another face to face. Since then we have met numerous times—at Rabbi Gewirtz's house for Shabbas, at her parents' house for Shabbas several months later, for a friend's wedding, and, most recently, for my own wedding. I felt extremely blessed to have my Torah Partner attend my wedding; she was an amazing presence and really brought to life the lessons we had learned together about marriage and partnership. My Torah Partner is a wonderful teacher and friend, but she is also one of the people I admire most in the world. She truly lives her life by the Torah, always doing her best and helping others. She is an inspiration and I feel truly blessed to have her in my life. With Warm Wishes, Rachel (formerly Rachel Becker) I have been learning with my Partner in Torah for about three years now. We’ve worked our way through several volumes of Talmud, having just finished Maseches Megillah, and now we’re on Taanis. When I started this learning, I really didn’t have much in hand in the way of learning skills, nor even a clear idea how to learn, or even really why to learn. Because of developing a personal relationship with my well-skilled, experienced, and patient Partner through Partners in Torah, the doors of learning have opened wide for me. I still struggle with some of the learning skills, but I am supported every step of the way, and that has resulted in much learning and a real appetite for more.
