"I am not sure if we ever thanked you profusely enough for sending Rabbi Shapiro our way.  In the month since he has taken the solo helm, we have found him to be wise beyond his years, one of the most compassionate men you could ever want to meet, and enthusiastic in his love for Judaism, the shul, the congregation and his family.  We love Rebbitzen Dr. Helene and Lila, just as we will get to love Avi as he grows up a part of the family of MMAE.  Lila has the run of the place on Shabbos and she has brought a newfound brightness into the sanctuary.  Our youth movement has begun in earnest.

Please convey to Rabbi Weiss just how much we appreciate what he has been instilling into his students at Chovevei.  Hashem blessed us when he led us on the path to Chovevei Torah."

"Rabbi Pearlberg is a thoughtful, intelligent, reflective and caring educator who brings wisdom and sophistication to every encounter and discussion. He inspires his students to engage ideas, think creatively and question assumptions. Rabbi Pearlberg delights in his students’ successes and encourages his students to think beyond their areas of comfort. He is highly regarded by his peers and his insightful observations help steer the course of our yeshiva."

"Rabbi Antine has a true understanding of the complexities innate to our modern Orthodox community in Potomac, MD. He is a brilliant scholar, gifted teacher and speaker, but can also effectively fundraise, deliver compassionate pastoral care, collaborate with lay and professional leaders and much more. Rabbi Antine has an uncanny ability to reach congregants on their “turf,” such as providing divreit torah on Sunday mornings to a community biking group and on Shabbat afternoons to young families on the playground. Rabbi Antine and his family have quickly become beloved teachers and friends to our community."

"I have the good fortune to call Rabbi Yossi Pollak my rabbi and my friend. He has an extraordinary ability to relate to and inspire our small but diverse congregation, enabling us to grow significantly for the first time in many years. As an example, after a Shabbat dinner that our two families shared, my four daughters all talked about how much they enjoyed it. Rabbi Pollak was able to relate to them in a way that was both comfortable and spiritual – a very tough combination. Our congregation looks forward to a long and strong relationship with Rabbi Pollak."

 "Based on my experience with Rabbi Gitler, I would strongly recommend that any Modern Orthodox shul, anywhere in the English speaking world, give serious consideration to hiring a musmach of YCT as its spiritual leader.  Rav Gitler has been a tremendous asset not only to our own congregation, but to the Denver Jewish community at large.  YCT can be justly proud of its outstanding alumnus, who is not only an excellent preacher, teacher and pastoral counselor, but a real mensch and a tremendous talmid chacham as well.

I have also had the pleasure of meeting several of Rav Gitler's rebbeim from YCT who have served as scholars in residence at EDOS, among them Rabbi Avi Weiss, Rabbi Ysoscher Katz and Rabbi Nati Helfgot.  Considering the amazingly high quality of YCT's faculty, it should come as no surprise that its graduates are so well prepared to assume the myriad responsibilities of the rabbinate.  Kol hakavod."
