The Jew and Prayer series.
Thank you this excellent series and the easily undertood manner in which it was presented. Now that we understand that the origional and best way of prayer, is from ones heart and soul, it may start a rethink in people. Thank you also, for illuminating a difference between women and men, which may help to break down the barriers of undertanding we have of each other.

Very educational spiritually practically
Thank you for this series of classes. They are spiritual as well as practical. The class for gender roles was especially educational. The essence of the difference between a man and a woman was very well explained and cleared misunderstanding. Thank you again for this spiritual and practical norishment. I was satisfied to be a female, but with this class, my appreciation for Almigh-y was elevated.

i can tell you that if G-d did not make either gender we would not be here today. Thank you G-d for creating women.
