QUOTES FROM PARTICIPANTS IN JLE - OHR SOMAYACH SEMINARS
"The program opened up for me a complete new world: the
world of Israel and living in my land. All the components of the
program, i.e. the classes, lectures and tours introduced me to the idea
of living a Jewish life."
Warren
Kahn, Gold Medal winner in Rugby for the Maccabia
Games
"The
lectures were inspiring, everything was open to debate, to question and
answer, give and take. The touring was spectacular, covering so much
ground in just a few weeks.
Randy
Geller, BA, Brandeis University
"The program
provided me with an introduction to Judaism that challenged and stimulated
with its willingness to address fundamental questions and to examine
the limits of belief."
Nicholas
Retter, BA, Harvard University
"Ohr Somayach
and the JLE Israel Program is a most prestigious institution for which
I have attained invaluable knowledge as well as gaining a strong commitment
to Israel and the Jewish people."

"While
on the JLE program, I felt I was constantly learning, constantly being
connected closer to my Jewish identity. It was an amazing experience.
I have decided to stay a while longer."
Aaron
Feuer, Swarthmore College, World Debating Champion
"I came
to get answers and realized I had so many more questions. I realized that
there is a whole philosophical system and way of life, something I will
be able to give over to my children and future generations."
Harry

inspired me, led me and taught me to love Israel and the Jewish people."
