Here are a few of the comments people wrote:

“Very informative, well presented with clean graphics. Overall, very well done!”

“The final explanation that the Mezuzah is a way to show that man is at the centre of the universe is worth showing and sharing. Please continue to show this film.”

“Very informative. The 3d imaging was cool and showed a great visual perspective.”

Rabbi Roth gave a Torah Live presentation at Camp S’dei Chemed this week. The audience loved it and responded with a big ovation. Max Lent, a participant, immediately e-mailed the principal of his school, HAFTR, recommending they use our material.

Rabbi Roth gave a presentation to Rabbi Nachum Zakon’s teacher training group and the feedback was astounding.

18 out of the 18 people present rated it terrific and as you can see from the smiles in the attached picture it was a huge success.

The guys said they got a lot of inspiration from seeing what one can achieve in the world of education and are excited to use the material themselves.

“Inspiring and entertaining at the same time! Mind stimulating!” Yoni Burstyn, Chicago

“Exciting and clear” – Binyomin S

Torah Live had the pleasure of giving the Crossing the Finish Line presentation to FZY / Young Judea, after which the students sat with their mentors for a one-on-one discussion about how to actualize their potential. Menachem Salasnik, the program coordinator, wrote, “Thanks again for what was an excellent presentation and what the students felt was a brilliant springboard for them starting their mitzvah.”

Torah Live’s second Yom Iyun, held at Yeshivat Mevaseret Zion, was a smashing success. (First Yom Iyun post here.) Boys spent the morning studying many inspirational ideas related to charity and then enjoyed an in-depth multimedia presentation on the topic. The event made a lasting impression on the students, many of whom took upon themselves to give ten percent to charity. To book the Torah Live Yom Iyun experience for your school, write to yomiyun@torahlive.co.il

Comments from the students:

“It was just 100%! Never realized how intricate the topic was.”

“Loved the audio visual.”

“Entertaining and informative.”

Rabbi Yisrael Stilerman and Rabbi Dan Roth on a research field trip for the upcoming kashrus presentation

Rabbi Roth was invited to the Mir a third time, where he presented “Home Alone” on hilchos yichud to Rabbi Yisrael Stilerman’s group. Feedback from the attendees:

“Clear, entertaining, incredible.”

“Really great. Learned all the halachos in a way that made it seem so simple.” – Mendel Florans

“Embarrassingly, I learned a lot of halachos that even as a ben torah, didn’t fully know before. Can’t wait for the next presentation.”

Today was one of the most thrilling days of my whole life and marks a new era for Torah Live. Although we’ve given the charity presentation [click for video overview] many times with incredible results, this was the first time participants had the opportunity to really live the topic by first spending the morning learning related sources. You can see the results for yourself by clicking on the play button in the above video. Why not let your students enjoy the Yom Iyun experience? They will thank you forever. Satisfaction guaranteed!

“It’s very hands-on and gives a real life appreciation and clarfies the concepts.” – Avi Silver

“I thought it was incredibly interesting as well as practical” – Teddy Freedman

Rabbi Dan Roth’s presentation of the Home Alone – Hilchos Yichud lecture was warmly received this week by the enthusiastic faculty and talmidim of Lev Hatorah.  One student commented, “The presentation gave a great overview of yichud for one who had no previous knowledge of the matter, or someone who was [already] knowledgeable.” Another said, “It was extremely informative. Please come back and teach us more!”

Went straight from JEWEL to Neve Yerushalayim to give a lunch time presentation on Chasing the American Dream.

Here’s what Shoshana Mitrani, one of the students, had to say: What did you think of todays presentation? “Thorough, organized, interesting, relevant, speaker was well spoken!” How can it be improved? “It was perfect!” When could you use these presentations in your school? “All the time! (I’m a big fan)

Another student wrote: “Was amazing video, an eye opener. Cool how you put the visual and talking together”

Torah Live gave its first talk to JEWEL this morning. Bridging the culture gap between LA and Jerusalem is no small feat and yet these ladies have taken it in their stride. It was inspiring to meet such a highly motivated group of students and I hope the lessons we learned from the 4 animals in the Crossing the Finish Line help you reach your dreams. Keep learning and growing!

“It was very different from any other lecture I have had about Judaism and I liked it because since it was different, I was engaged! Really captivating”

“The presentation was well made and the audio visuals were terrific. They helped illustrate the point beautifully. Aish LA would greatly benefit from your presentation.”  Sola Rose Malka

It was a true privilege to give the charity presentation today to such a distinguished group of people as the avreichim in the Mir. One of the beauties of the presentation is the ease with which it can be tweaked to suit each audiences needs, and today’s event was no exception. Yet another version was created – the 11th version to date!

Yeshivas Lev Aharon hosted Torah Live for a special Chanukah event.  Rabbi Roth presented the maaser / charity lecture under the heading of “What to do with all the chanuka gelt!” Did the students learn and enjoy? You bet! In their own words, “The presentation was fun, interactive and informative!”

Recently, Rabbi Roth delivered the Mezuza presentation at the Mir, Yerushalayim. Apparently, people were still talking about the halachos over lunch and several went home and changed the position of their mezuzos. Here’s the feedback we got from Rabbi Yisrael Stilerman, the Rosh Chaburah:

“The presentation was amazing! I asked the guys about the presentation and they said they were inspired, entertained, and gained a lot from it! They were specifically amazed by the technology! They want to know, what’s the next topic and when? I personally appreciate the time, energy, and resource that you put into presenting a complete package! I know and see just a little bit of what you have to do, to get where it is. Amazing! Amazing!”

Earlier this week, Rabbi Roth presented on Mezuza at EYAHT.  The students had the following comments:

“The video presentation was amazing. Best I’ve ever seen. ” – Tziporah Winston
