"Only now, looking back at the past three years, can I begin to appreciate the doors that MEOR opened for me while I was a student at Penn. For the first time, a panorama of Torah and Judaism was shown to me as just that - a panorama - placed in my hands to choose or leave behind. The weekly lectures sparked my interest in the big philosophical questions of Judaism, while the one-on-one learning allowed me to work through my own personal questions. The Shabbatons reminded me that there is a whole world of vibrant Jewish life outside the college bubble, and perhaps most impacting on me, the program exposed me to some of the most inspiring Jews I had ever met - people whose breadth, depth, and passion have helped me to find my own place among the Jewish people."
