Me’ah Testimonials

“All of our instructors were terrific; they had very different styles and personalities. When we struggled with a reading, they were able to explain the meaning or thought in today’s terms. It was fun learning from college professors since we have college-aged children. I only hope their professors are as good!”

-Robin and Ernie Krieger








Robin and Ernie Krieger belong to Temple Shalom in Newton, Mass., where they took Me’ah. Robin works in sales and marketing for Ernie’s financial-planning business. Every year, the couple spends at least one vacation touring in their ‘66 Rambler convertible.

“Through Me’ah I have acquired this unsettling sense of living on the arm of a pendulum that sweeps backwards and forwards through time, between the Arch of Titus and the Havdalah service, between the desolation of our people and joy.  Life happens to be good for Jews — here, now.  But the world is large and history is long, and Me’ah has taught me to take nothing for granted.”

“On behalf of the graduates, I commend Hebrew College for mounting a program that has made such study possible. Every graduate here has had the deep pleasure of sitting with others and debating the meaning of a text. Every graduate, I suspect, could offer a story — a Me’ah moment, like my moment in Rome [before the Arch of Titus] or at Havdalah service, that brings the world into a sharp, new focus.  We students are changed for this learning, and I can think of no greater tribute to our teachers than to say: we are changed. Thank you.”
