“While I originally expected the impact of the program to be on Rabbi Pollack’s informal programming in the school, it has had perhaps a greater impact on his classroom.  His students have cherished the change and have experienced learning halacha in a fresh, meaningful way.  Seeing the benefits of an experiential type of learning, students of other teachers have now been requesting similar opportunities in their classes.  The bar has been raised!”

“The Center for the Jewish Future at YU is a leader in so many educational fields and foremost amongst them, the nascent field of Jewish Experiential Education. The Head of our Experiential Education Department at our school took part in the inaugural certificate program in 2011/2012. The enormous contribution of this program was by providing excellence, depth and relevance into this fledgling field. Our Head who participated, came back invigorated with intellectual depth, systematic thinking and practical tools which is making a significant difference to our schools experiential department on a daily basis.”
