"We wanted to thank you again for our son's bar mitzvah such a wonderful experience. I can't tell you how happy we were with everything. You are such a warm caring person and that really came out during the service. You are just a wonderful rabbi, a true asset to rabbi-hood."

"You were wonderful, meaningful -- you touched so hearts ... Thank you for sharing your heart and soul, your thoughts and wisdom with us."


"It feels like a simple thank you will not express how wonderful you were as our wedding Rabbi. You created the most beautiful ceremony ever! The mixture of seriousness, fun, meaning, were perfect and every time someone mentions the wedding, it is quickly followed by "that awesome Rabbi".
-- Wedding couple

"Wow! You have no idea how wonderful it was to have you as our Rabbi. The ceremony was exactly what we were hoping for. We are so thankful for all the help and guidance you gave us adn we consider it a blessing we found you. So many of our guests were touched by the ceremony..."
