somehow combining games and crafts with academic rigor. The source of our daughters love for Hebrew School lies in Chanas excitement and gift for teaching. ELIZABETH JOSH BERNSTEIN, ANNAS PARENTS

Bernie and I found the classes thought provoking, intelligent, very interesting and enjoyable. We especially liked the way the Rabbi responded to questions and statements from the students. He always shows respect and thoughtfulness in his responses. He carries a wealth of knowledge that is obvious; however, he always came across as interested in what we had to say. A wonderful teacherwe will come back for more classes. Thank you so much for all we have begun tolearn at Chabad. BERNIE ARLENE FARROW

It is so nice to be able to get together with other Jewish women, enjoy their company, have a great time during the program and take home tools that I can use as a Jewish wife and mother as well.DEVORAH HOLAN

My life changed drastically when David died

and they were very supportive. They lifted me up. It wasnt that I needed spiritual support.They were giving me human support. They were and continue to be there for me.JILL ZIMERMAN

Chabad embraced our whole family. Fromour 5 year old through our childrens grandparents, everyone is valued. We have enjoyed seeing how the Rabbi interacts withour children. Hes not only interesting, hes interested. This is true whether its the 5 year old or the 15 year old. He adjusts his style accordingly, and is exible in his interactions even while sticking to tradition.JONATHAN STACY FELDMAN

When I came to Asheville two years ago, I looked for a place where my son could study for his Bar Mitzvah. At Chabad, they make

you feel that whatever kind of Jew you are, you are welcomed. It was heart-warming that somebody actually wanted my family without any strings attached. I feel so indebted toChabad for everything.SIGALLY CHEEK
