I look forward to my TorahMates session with Pacy every week. He's a wealth of knowledge, and both his enthusiasm for Torah and spirit of chesed are infectious. It's amazing what you can do just one step at a time.

Learning with Asher has not only brought a continued and amazing learning experience (I can finally say I'm learning the mishna!) but it has been a fruitful and enlightening friendship...for life!

Growing up in a family from the Soviet Union, I was always aware of my Jewish identity but lacked a deeper understanding of Judaism. My bond with Judaism and mitzvot has deepened now in a meaningful way, and I’m truly grateful for this organization and the impact it has had on my life.

We learn so much from each other and I love expanding my understanding of Tehillim from the book we have been using.  I highly recommend Oorah and TorahMates; it is a beautiful and highly meaningful program to me!
Jodi, Fayetteville NY

She's unbelievable. I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to learn with her. If I could reach out and hug her through the phone, I would give her the biggest hug 🤗

Learning with my TorahMate gives me inner fulfillment. We get to connect with the giants of previous generations and develop an appreciation for who we are as a nation. I'm happy to be Jewish.

A lot of what I have learned cannot be learned by simply attending a shul, and davening with a minyan...I've learned to connect, and stay connected.

After a hard day's work, I get to call my TorahMate and learn Torah over the phone from the convenience of my home... what a privilege that is! “

I do not come from a religious background and Bayla has been very patient with me and always teaches me in a very positive, nonjudgmental manner. My family and I are forever grateful.
-Natalie, Miami Lake FL

Having Oorah is like having another family and through our studies I have seen Hashem give me an extra sense of calmness that in the darkness there will be light. I never ever feel alone knowing that my support team is and always will be here for me.

Our Jewish family life is on a new level of religious happiness. They call just to ask how we are. They are the marines of Torah. They never leave a Jew down. Oorah makes us feel we are never alone in this quest.

I learn so much. I got to meet Robin in Jerusalem during the summer of 2023. The whole time I felt like pinching myself. I never imagined we'd get to meet. This whole experience with Robin has been life changing.
