Dear Rabbi Ginsburg: I have been watching your videos, and I think  you are brilliant! The future of Yiddishkeit , is in the hands of people like you,  your newest devotee. J.k.

I just loved coming to Services and hearing your D'vrei Torah, which were always excellent.  I have known many Conservative Rabbis, but you are really one of the best! G.  March 2011

CONVERTS:There are also no words to properly convey the depth of my appreciation to Rabbi Jonathan and, yet mere words will have to suffice. Thank you for this gift, for which I can never truly repay you.  I will instead repay it learning, living and loving Jewishly everyday. Rob Feb 2008

Thank you!  I have been reading and listening to the UTube courses non stop since I spoke with you on the phone.  This is a wonderful set of classes and so informative.  This is wonderful.  Thank you again. Colleen

1. Dear Rabbi

 I know you received many letters of thanks and gratitude from around the globe.  But today I must add my profound gratitude to you

..Here is some exciting news.  I was a bit late for Shabbat Services today as I was picking things for our Hebrew Club Picnic tomorrow.   When I arrived at the Synagogue some friends were just entering so we sat together.  I was glad because I do not like to be late.  Well, I was trying to settle in to the Service and after the Rabbi passed the Torah he called me up to the Bimah!  I could not believe that.  I was shaking and I did not want to go.  He was waiting so I went and he said I had a Torah Blessing.  An Aliyah!  Can you believe it my very first.  I would have thought it impossible to be reading and understand the Torah in Hebrew.He asked English or Hebrew and I said of course Hebrew. I was reading and thought how great it was that after last night (Friday) Shabbat Service we practiced our Hebrew over and over.I did help dress and undress the Torah.  That experience will last me for a lifetime.Thank you for your kindness and guidance on my Jewish Journey.  I adorn my "home" and my "family".

Thanks to you and your conversion program Sinai Synagogue had a minyan this morning! It feels so good to help out!

3...He lives in NY and when his father died several years ago he didn't know Hebrew and needed to recite the kaddish. He went on the internet and learned it from your video - he is still grateful for it.

4. Al-former priest.I wanted to let you know I went to the Temple on Friday night and much to my surprise, I was able to follow most of the service in Hebrew.  Of course I didn't understand most of it, but I could follow it, except when the Hazan was chanting fast.  It's awesome!    I couldn't do any of this without your support.  THANK YOU!
