Word on the Block

The lowdown

“Being a part of JYN has taught me a lot about my Jewish identity. It has helped me understand my religion better and appreciate who I am as a Jewish person. Being a part of JYN has also helped me make many new friendships; everyone is friendly, and it feels like a big community. Thank you, Rabbi Shmuli, for all you do!”

“I look forward to going each week. Not only do I learn something new and important about Judaism but Rabbi Shmuli teaches us in a way that makes it easy for us to learn and understand. Rabbi Shmuli is really the nicest, most easy going teacher. Not only is he a teacher and a Rabbi, he is a mentor to myself and to so many other students. The JYN experience is priceless, and I am beyond grateful to be able to be a part of it.”

“Last year I was lucky enough to get involved with the Jewish Youth Network. It is a privilege to learn with Rabbi Shmuli. He always ensures that our time in classes are fun and engaging. In our classes, we learn valuable lessons about Judaism, ranging from the meaning of our traditions to an overview of our Jewish.”

“I have grown up in a Jewish home and have always enjoyed celebrating the Jewish holidays and traditions with my family and close friends. But, there is only so much I can know and learn from just celebrating these holidays. Rabbi Shmuli’s classes have taught me about holidays, traditions, and Jewish history. Being connected to Judaism is very important to me, JYN has given me numerous opportunities to do so.”

“In my opinion, JYN is the greatest forum to guide any child that wants not only to be a stronger contributing Jew, but an all around good person.”

“Every Tuesday, after a hard day at school, I’m overjoyed to go to Torah for Teens because the moment I enter the class a huge rush of positive energy greets me, along with many of the friends I don’t have time to see during the day. I can’t help but smile along with everyone else as I take my seat, ready to learn. It’s amazing how Rabbi Shmuli keeps everyone engaged while maintaining a laidback, friendly atmosphere. The even crazier part is how much we actually learn each class, from the Torah, the teacher and each other.”

“To be a part of these programs really taught me many important values, and helps me take leadership in the community as well as in my school. Rabbi Shmuli encourages us to help whenever we can, and to try our hardest. What he does for JYN is unreal, and has inspired us all.”

“Rabbi Shmuli and Jewish Youth Network are enabling teenagers to connect to their Jewish roots in a really enjoyable environment. When going to class, I always felt like I was going somewhere safe; I felt very at home at JYN. “

“Throughout all these years, I have seen JYN grow and evolve into the wonderful organization it is now – a testament to the incredible work of its leaders. It is because of JYN that I know how to read Hebrew, that I am well-versed in the most fundamental aspects of Judaism, and most of all, that I am proud to call myself a Jew.”

“JYN was an opportunity for me to be a part of a class and continue my Jewish education. It has not only taught me about the Jewish holidays but has undoubtedly strengthened my connection to G-d. I have met new people from being a part of JYN and they have helped shape me into the kind, caring Jew that I have become.”
Dani Maresky

I can’t recommend JYN enough to future high school students. It’s more than just a place to learn — it’s a place where you can grow, connect, and truly feel at home. JYN has had a profound and lasting impact on my life, and I’m confident it will continue to shape me in the future.
