“Darshan Yeshiva provided a brilliant foundation stone for the edifice of my conversion. The best part of the process was working with Rabbi Rachael Bregman who has a remarkable facility with both the intellectual and emotional aspects of a conversion. In our numerous exchanges, Rabbi Rachael always knew how to guide one through each stage in the actualization of one’s Jewish identity. Thanks to Rabbi Rachael and everyone who has helped in the creation of Darshan Yeshiva.” – David R.

“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.” – Patrick S.
