Testimonials
Dear Rabbi Stan,
Thank you so much for a great service, and a great year. The Sundays I spent with you, were by far the most meaningful part of the week. Being in your class opened my eyes to how far being Jewish could go, and how far being spiritual can go. You taught me a lot about the Jewish history, and a lot about life and being a teenager. Spending an entire year with you was great, and I will remember all that you taught me for the rest of my life.

Thank you again for performing such a beautiful service. My family loved participating. It will be remembered always as a highlight in our lives. The Barrys and the Goldmans bonded in a way I could never have imagined.

Now that the last of my family is gone (home) and life is getting back to normal, I wanted to again express our gratitude for making Matt’s important day so meaningful to our families. Matt said it best – you taught him about our religion and about the meaning of the experience; you helped him learn rather than just told him to learn. That was our goal and we achieved it in a way greater than our expectations. I could not be happier that we entrusted you with our son for this right of passage. Now, get ready for Dan!

Rabbi Stan took a process that started out [at a local Temple Sunday School program] as painful, to a new and interesting level for our daughter. What was mundane and uninspiring, became a pleasure and no longer a chore. It was fun to watch both of our children blossom under Stan’s tutelage. Their bas mitzvahs were turning points in their lives and Rabbi Stan was a gentle guiding light who steered them toward their goal in a kind, meaningful and inspiring way.

Stan…Once again…We are so grateful to you to have conducted both of our family’s bar mitzvah’s. The ceremony was perfect. We have received so many wonderful comments about how well Dan did and how meaningful a service you conducted. We couldn’t be more pleased. Even though our bar mitzvah’s are now completed, we hope to be able to call on you from time to time to offer us spiritual support and friendship. The connection and bond that we have developed with you from having you guide us through such significant days is very important to us. Our deepest thank you.

You worked beautifully with Zoe during this year to get her prepared for her Bat Mitzvah. The service was even more heartfelt and personal than we could have imagined. Our guests are still talking about how wonderful the service was – even the kids!!!
