“I have loved the shirium especially on tefillah. Shmoneh esrei was a highlight for me, so was tehillim.”

“It’s the highlight of the week! I am understanding myself, my relationship with Hashem and my place in this world so much better. The topics about reaching Hashem, my soul and davening have been so personally rewarding.”

“I use it to help me focus on aspects of davening that I need help with (I.e., all of them). I listen to the recordings at my computer, usually while I’m working.”

“I love learning through your website. I find it all very uplifting and as I said before it’s very inline with how I think. Extra blessings goes out to your workshops!”
