Testimonials

Elie Zarem Life at Sinai was the first time I felt free of a clock. There seemed to be no limit to the conversations. Both the teachers and tutors made me feel that each conversation was, at its time, the most important thing in the world for both of us. I wish everyone could have this opportunity. Thank you.

Elie Zarem The treasures of Sinai are bestowed in just 12 days but hold their value for far longer. I highly recommend this worthwhile program.

Sam Block Sinai Retreats is everything that you could imagine… sports, barbeques, hikes, and new friends --but it is also a time for reflection and learning. Sinai Retreats offers the opportunity to break away from the weight of everyday life and to connect to something much greater than ourselves.

Norbert Gotesman Sinai Retreats gave me a glimpse into the incredible wisdom and beauty of our Jewish heritage and sparked my interest to learn and to grow spiritually. Naturally, in describing my Sinai Retreats experience I have to mention the program's secret weapon….the food ….Wow!

Kadie Black Sinai Retreats provided me with an open and supportive environment where I was able to learn more about Judaism and myself on a deeper level. I was able to explore who I am and what Judaism has to offer me in terms of spiritual growth. I strongly encourage anyone who is seeking more meaning out of life to attend Sinai Retreats.

Nicole Brody I really enjoyed just focusing on my spirituality for two weeks. Studying the Torah in such depth revealed to me that I've been missing so much, not only in my understanding of Judaism but also in my life. I learned to view Judaism as a way of life that links the physical, spiritual, and emotional. My spirituality finally has direction which is liberating and empowering.
-- Nicole Brodi
   
Emily B This program should be mandatory for anyone who has questions about what it means to be a Jew!
-- Emily B.
   
  I fell in love with Judaism all over again! Sinai Retreats was one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences of my life. Putting aside the beautiful scenery of Lake George, NY and the wonderful and charismatic people on the trip, the most spectacular part of the program was experiencing Judaism in a real way. The classes covered an entire range of subjects, from self-esteem to marriage and commitment to bridging the gap between the Torah and 21st century life. Sinai does not only cater to the "experienced" Jew; it is also for those who have marveled at the beauty of its culture and tradition from afar, and who now want to enhance their relationship with Judaism.

  I soon realized that Sinai is more than a curriculum of informative and engaging classes. Sinai Retreats instills in each participant a solid foundation for a lifetime of learning. My only regret is that I didn't go sooner.

  Sinai Retreats is a truly incredible place. What a great way to spend my vacation time –the perfect combination of a relaxing vacation, intellectually stimulating classes, and amazing conversations. The teachers are amazing, the tutors were wonderful, the food was great and the setting is beautiful. If you have the time, go –and.if you don't have the time, find or make the time. It is a priceless experience.
--Ilan Weinberg
   
  My two weeks at Sinai were the best two weeks of my life. I came to the program the prototypical wandering Jew, filled with questions. At Sinai, I had the opportunity to learn from well-accomplished and caring teachers and tutors and to experience a beautiful Shabbat, filled with laughter, joy, and spirituality. I left Sinai with my questions answered, accompanied by lifelong friends.
