What they've said!
Cannot tell you how much everyone enjoyed your presentation on Sunday at our Family School - I can always tell how much people liked the speaker by the number of books sold..and I sold out of yours!!!
-- Judy Buckman, Executive Director, Congregation Sukkat Shalom
Meredith! Thanks you, thank you, thank you!!! for your FANTABULOUS presentation to our sisterhood brunch at Olam Tikvah last Sunday. Your neshama came through and I really felt as if Hashem was working through you!!! You are so poised and articulate and our members told us they benefitted tremendously from your presentation. Thanks so much again for taking time from your busy life and schedule to share your wisdom with us!
--Sarah Schultz (and Geri Sterling) Olam Tikvah VP's for Education
Mrs. Jacobs wrote a fabulous book, The Modern Jewish Mom’s Guide to Shabbat (Harper Collins). After reading it, I brought her to my synagogue to speak to our congregation about incorporating Shabbat into their lives. She was a huge hit. The young families really appreciated her sincerity and her message and everyone felt very encouraged to try some of the things she shared. And her books sold out.
--Rabbi Lisa Rubin, Temple Beth-El of Great Neck
Thank you so much for coming to speak to the Schechter/NCJW group - your talk was fun and educational and inspiring... I loved it, and have gotten SUCH great feedback from attendees.
--Rachel Brown, chair
Her message was so strong regarding adding yiddishkeit to your family in whatever way it fits. Her appeal is definitely a natural fit for the young women but I feel that every woman, no matter her age, can benefit from what Meridith has to share.
--Dafna Michaelson, President, Denver Chapter of Hadassah |
