Testimonials From Previous Taste of JTS Weekends:
"This program greatly enhanced my understanding of life at The Rabbinical School. I learned that the students are generally on a 'spectrum' of observance and come from a wide and varied background. Furthermore, I learned that the students form a community with one another that not only enhances their studies, but their development into successful rabbis."
"I just wanted to thank you for everything this weekend . . . I appreciate the time that each of you took to speak with me about my interest in possibly applying to and attending school at JTS and the community here. This really did give me a better idea of what options there are for graduate work."
