"Taking a break from my career as a lawyer and entrepreneur, I attended the Aish Executive Kollel in Jeruslam in 2001. Without exaggeration, the time I spent at Aish was the most significant and life-altering period of my life. It provided me with a safe, accepting and intellectually stimulating environment to explore my heritage while being encouraged to question anything and grow at my own pace. The resources that were made available to me were exceptional, and I was treated as if I was the most important guest ever to walk through the doors.
Most significantly, this program gave me the opportunity to witness what it means to live a life of Torah and experience people for whom there is no gap between what they learn, what they teach and how they live at home. At 48 years of age, I have seen much of the world, but I have never seen anything that compares to the kindness, patience, generosity and wisdom displayed by the Rabbis at Aish Hatorah in Jerusalem. They are the most selfless people I have known. Learning from books is one way of attaining wisdom, but being among models of what it means to live a life of purity is something very different. No honest person could spend time in this program and not be deeply and permanently affected.
Directly because of this program and the time I spent at Aish, I was able to move from a 45 year old commitmentphobic bachelor, completely ignorant of Jewish wisdom, to a married man and father who is now mindful of a rich path of Jewish traditions to guide my life and lead my children. Not a day goes by that I am not keenly aware of my gratitude for this life changing experience and these amazing people. "

"As a recently admitted attorney, Aish HaTorah's Executive Kollel provided me with the unique opportunity to fine tune my learning skills in a structured, warm, and spiritually charged environment. The program provided me with an intimate and personalized learning program that was ideally suited to my spiritual/intellectual level. With an emphasis on intensive practical gemorah skills as well as halacha, to this day, I continue to draw on the learning and skills I gained in the program. Living in the Old City and being able to davening daily at the Kotel were indispensable advantages when I made my decision to attend the program. I highly recommend the program for any professional that seeks to maximize their learning while remaining cognizant of the limitations that many young professionals have concerning taking time off to learn."
