The Judaic Studies Help Desk
"Teachers open our eyes to the world. They give us curiosity and confidence. They teach us to ask questions.... We have lots of heroes today.... But the influence of good teachers stays with us. They are the people who really shape our life."
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, Optimism to Hope
