" I was gifted to begin my introduction to Hebrew face-to-face with Rabbi Ofer. He is such a warm human personality, combined with a deep Jewish faith and a skill set to communicate a deep respect for the Word of G-d along with a contagious wonder of the Torah’s meaning and integrity!
His knowledge of the Torah, Mishna, Talmud, and Jewish teachers is deep, while tempered with a deep humility. He thinks before answering an inquiry, and is prompt to say when he wants times to further reflect or research. I was sorry to move to another state, yet our internet study has continued teaching me in a way utter impossible otherwise, and remains deeply satisfying. I have realized that he has taught me complex theological ideas as well. I couldn’t offer a stronger recommendation! "

I absolutely loved studying with Ofer!
He tailored lessons perfectly to my level and my interests. I always felt like I was getting the right amount of positive feedback to be glad of my progress, balanced with being stretched to enhance my abilities each time. Ofer's deep knowledge of many different types of Hebrew meant that he could fully convey to me the richness of Hebrew as a modern language, with her many historic layers. I looked forward to doing homework, because I knew that I would enjoy it, and Hebrew classes were the highlight of my week. To top it all off, I passed my Hebrew placement test with flying colours (the reason I started lessons with him in the first instance), and it was all thanks to his support. I would definitely recommend studying with Ofer! You'll enjoy yourself and learn a lot.

" Rabbi Ofer was the perfect choice for what I wanted. I already knew the Hebrew alphabet but I wanted to learn to read and understand the prayers in the prayerbook. We were able to make swift progress together and now I can better appreciate every prayer service so much more! "

" I wanted to deepen my understanding of the different perspectives of different kinds of Hebrew texts, both ancient and modern. I wanted to have direct access to the multiple perspectives of different kinds of approaches to Judaism over the ages. Rabbi Ofer amazed me in every session with his depth of knowledge and capacity to enable me to understand the minds and hearts of the authors of the texts over many centuries. I couldn’t recommend Ofer more. "
