I look forward to learning with Rabbi Berkowitz every week. To say that this is one of the highlights of my week is not an exaggeration. One of the things I really enjoy is that he encourages me to use my intellect and connect the Jewish studies with everyday human interactions.

Ever since I started learning with Rabbi Berkowitz, I have a newfound interest in studying the weekly Parsha. I really can't get enough, thank you!

Weekly Torah PortionThe learning sessions that I have started in preparation for my Bar Mitzvah have helped me find my path in life. It has taught me that you can't just sit around. Life isn’t forever, we should utilize it and have fun doing so.

Bar Mitzvah PreparationFor the past several years I have had the opportunity to spend Shabbos with Rabbi and Mrs. Yitzchak Berkowitz. We have developed a close relationship and through our discussions and his patient teaching, he has opened up my eyes to the beauty of Torah. My Shabbatot at the Rabbi's home have been very beautiful, meaningful and joyful experiences. I look forward to learning more from him in the future.

ShabbosRabbi Berkowitz is a constant reminder of how important it is to learn. His teachings bring the right direction in my day and it distracts me from the complexities of the world we live in. May our exertions in life be focused on understanding the light of Torah, Bezrat Hashem.

Torah StudyI really enjoy studying Talmud with Rabbi Berkowitz. Our study sessions are lively and interactive. The rabbi's clear, articulate and exciting method of learning makes the most complex passages of the Talmud easy to understand and enjoyable to learn.

Talmud StudyEvery week I look forward to our personalized study session where we dissect and digest passages of the weekly Torah portion and discover how they pertain to our daily lives. I find our classes quite fascinating and keep hearing myself saying "I never knew that!" Many years ago a wise man told me that if you want to feel good about yourself you should do good things. When I complete a study session with Rabbi Berkowitz, I feel very good!

Weekly Torah PortionI’m writing a quick note to say that I thoroughly enjoy your classes in Pirkei Avos and Torah and that it is never a chore to attend a class. I always learn something that challenges my perspectives and enjoy doing so! Thank you for such a wonderful learning experience, and I hope to continue to learn from you in future courses!
