Learn Yiddish with Student Rabbi — Connect Deeply to Jewish Life, Language, and Heritage

Michael has a true gift for teaching. His enthusiasm and patience with language beginners is unmatched. While studying Persian, I felt that he fostered an environment where I wanted to do better every day, and gave me all the tools to do so, but without any sense of judgement when life has gotten hectic on my end and I didn't meet all of my goals. He is a skilled teacher! I am so happy I found Michael, and am excited to begin a new language (Hebrew) with him soon!

Michael is an excellent teacher with an incredible intuition for languages. Over the course of a summer spent at an institute for Jewish learning, Michael would regularly volunteer to assist other students in Hebrew vocabulary and grammar, doing so with warmth, patience, and humor. If you are looking for a Hebrew teacher, I highly recommend Michael!

Michael was extremely helpful in teaching me grammar fundamentals and has a wide background in a number of languages overall. He’s a great person to learn with!

Michael is an incredible teacher. I have worked with him for years and he has the rare gift of being passionate about the language while also being immensely knowledgeable about its intricacies, rules, and exceptions. I highly recommend Michael for all of your French language needs!
