Darshan Yeshiva Reviews

“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.”

"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."

“My total experience with Darshan Yeshiva was wonderful. All the questions I had were fully explained, and everything was so easy to achieve with the help from my rabbi. It was all I wanted and more. I hope my experience inspires others to do as I have. I am so happy now.”

“I worked with Rabbi Sandy Zisser, and he was a fantastic mentor throughout. We had a very open dialogue on a regular basis, and I was able to learn so much from our conversations. I would highly recommend the Darshan Yeshiva course to anyone looking to go through a conversion or anyone looking to deepen their studies in Judaism.”

“It feels like the end of a long journey, but I know it’s the beginning of the rest of our lives. Thanks to everyone at Darshan Yeshiva!” Pictured (L to R): Joel; his son, Benjamin with Rabbi Ben Romer(Z"L) at Temple Beth El in Richmond, Va.

“I chose Rabbi Shafir Lobb. My Rabbi’s help in this conversion process meant the world to me. She took the time to meet with me personally and was there for me all the way…I am thankful the instructors took the time to put forth an amazing amount of information in each class.” Pictured (L to R): Bruce with Rabbi Shafir Lobb at Congregation Eitz Chayim in Port Saint Lucie, Fla.

"Thanks to Rabbi Patrick and Rabbi Ben Romer for facilitating an amazing experience that is both the culmination of our conversion processes and the beginning of our journeys as Jews." Pictured (L to R): Rabbi Patrick Beaulier, Matt, and Rabbi JBen Romer(Z"L) at Temple Beth El in Richmond, Va.

“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.”

“I’m very pleased with how the program works. I can study whenever I have the time; my mentor is always available through Skype or email; and the classes are well-made and easy to understand. It’s a very interesting journey to say the least, and I’m glad I chose Darshan Yeshiva to help guide me along the way!”

"I must say that your Judaism learning material is absolutely outstanding! It is evident that a great deal of thought and effort went into creating such a comprehensive and insightful resource. The content is clear, concise, and engaging, making it easy for learners of all levels to grasp and retain the information. The way you have organized the material is impressive, as it allows for a seamless progression from one topic to the other. Overall, your Judaism learning material is a true gem that deserves high praise. I have no doubt that it will greatly benefit anyone who is eager to deepen their understanding of this rich and fascinating material. Keep up the fantastic work! Plus I have the best Rabbi helping me along the way!"

"Darshan Yeshiva has helped me out tremendously. I'm so happy with the Comprehensive Jewish Studies program. I'm learning so much from this course, and I would recommend it to everyone who wants to convert or learn more about Judaism."

I am loving this learning and exploration experience. This was exactly what I was looking for. I have many Jewish friends, but never truly understood their beliefs or even the high holidays. Last year I found out I have Sephardic ancestry and decided I want to learn about what these ancestors forced to convert or conceal their religion actually believed. I also want to learn about their culture and history in order to honor them, and in the process honor that part of them that lives in me many generations later.    The section on Jewish Peoplehood has been amazing, the choice of content ranging from history to the future is amazing and makes me want to learn more. Thank you for making this available to all of those curious about Judaism, regardless of our background and personal history.  -Amelia B.

I am so grateful for Darshan Yeshiva. Since I started school, I have learned so, so much.

Darshan Yeshiva was flexible with my schedule and I feel such a strong connection with my rabbi.

What I loved about Darshan Yeshiva is that you work at your own pace.

This program is the most spiritually enhancing thing I have done for myself!
