“Rabbi Tatz convinced me to start studying Hebrew at the age 66 without knowing it, just through his Shiurim. Many people saying to me that I am crazy and that this is impossible, but I believe with Hashem's help, it will become real. The beauty of this all is that I am not alone. I have You, your team, Rabbi Tatz and my local Chabad Synagogue supporting my very late return to Torah. ” Ron B.

“It's hard for me to convey my respect and admiration of Rabbi Tatz and his ability to convey complex issues in a clear and digestible way, so that even I can understand and relate to them with all my soul and all my heart. Every week I am looking forward to my Friday morning 5:00 am lesson and for a few days after I keep on listening to the recordings. These lessons are my weekly celebration of Jewish studies.” Eric R.

“I listen to Rabbi Tatz's live class twice every week (first live, then the recording). I still can't believe that I can ask him any question, and he is there for me too. What a zchut! I am learning SO MUCH from his class... I can see the changes in me, and my family can see them too, so everybody is benefiting from it!” Sherry W.

“I am really enjoying being part of Rabbi Tatz's community. It is amazing to learn from such a great man. He is very dedicated and it feels like he has a personal connection with everyone.” Naomi G.

“Thank you so very, very, much for the teaching below, I am so blessed by it, thank you, thank you. I want to spend all my days listening to your teachings. For just this little part I have been listening to I feel like my mind is being cleared, and being cleansed of all the dirt which is been set in there. You are providing me with a clean and health mind. Thank you, thank you. ”

“Rav, Over the last year and a half that I have had the privilege of being your student, we have connected at a level where words are an inadequate means of conveyance. The only word I can find is the Hebrew word Arvut. You have reached deep into my existence at the soul with your studies.”  

Ross P.

“Rabbi Tatz has so much insight and is a lite for us in this dark world. I can't tell you in words how much the videos and teachings from Rabbi Tatz has meant to us. Truly a life changing adventure for us. I am not very good with words, but want you all to know you are doing a very special work, that is greatly needed in this dark time of the world. Truly you all are an inspiration. We have started learning hebrew so we can hopefully understand the Torah and teachings in their true meaning.”  

Harry T.

“I’m not even able to describe how much I feel I learned from Rabi Akiva Tatz . I pray I have the zchut to one day meet the Rav. I literally feel weightless (probably much like an astronaut in space) when I hear the Rav’s voice and I can’t even begin to explain to you what I feel and how many good thoughts and voices come to me after listening to the recordings. I’m privileged to be connected to deep roots and even in this world hear the greats.”
