Darshan Yeshiva Reviews

“Interesting enough, conversion to Judaism in New York is not as easy as it sounds. Being an entrepreneur, making my own schedule is a key to living the life that I love, and once I found Darshan yeshiva, it became much easier. Working at your own pace for about a year, is so satisfying, because of the feedback you receive from so many people-staff, rabbi’s, and our community! The program they use is also very simple and easy to follow, so it makes the conversion process much easier. Being a Jewish person is not easy as well, we have plenty of rules, holidays, it is very communal! I would recommend Darshan Yeshiva to anyone who is interested in our religion!” <b> – James C.<b/> :

“I’ve been studying Judaism for the last 10 years or so. I found Darshan Yeshiva when I was googling Torah study. I began working with Rabbi Brian Zachary Mayer and eventually found a synagogue that I love.” <b>– Jodie S.</b> :

“My spiritual journey began about 3 years ago. I was reading, downloading lectures, I even read an Idiot’s Guide to Judaism. When I found Rabbi Patrick on YouTube, at his site PunkTorah. He was easy to understand, and funny. I knew that I had found a place where I belong.” <b>– Sam A.</b> :

“Darshan Yeshiva is an amazing online tool where countless members of any community can learn and grow their Jewish knowledge/ conversion and without it, I would never have been able to convert. As a night time dance educator and studio manager I could not find any in-person classes to take as they were all during the night while I was working. Being online allowed me to learn when I had time during the days and at my own pace. Applying and learning was easy and anytime I had a question my Rabbi (Ora) was right there guiding me. My conversion journey took 8 years but one that was necessary and I finally found a community where I feel love and acceptance for who I am. With the help of Darshan Yeshiva I was converted before marring my husband and that has allowed us to start our family the way I always dreamed.” <b>– Brittany M.</b> :

“Darshan Yeshiva could be a role model for a Jewish education here in Germany or even Europe. The approach towards the placement of knowledge about Judaism, the ability to put a person and his or her spiritual needs above somehow ‘artificial’ limitations and man-made boundaries and by the same time respecting Jewish values to the utmost, is a fascinating project.” <b> – Patrick S.</b> :
