Welcome to
my website, where I've gathered some useful and interesting links to a
variety of my favorite resources for Jewish Personal Training of all sorts:
learning Torah, Jewish history, ahavat Yisrael, Jewish observance, traditions
and customs from around the world, skills such as layning and baking
challah, song and celebration.
You'll also
find links to some of my other web pages, including the courses I teach
for the Florence Melton Adult Mini-School. If any links on this page are broken or nonfunctional, please let
me know.
