Howard made the daunting and insurmountable task of teaching our son Hebrew from scratch and his Torah portion in less than a year look like a breeze. He made the lessons fun and appropriately challenging and managed to do it all with humor, curiosity in our whole child, and love. Our son grew in his confidence, love of learning and acquired a new teacher and friend in Howard. Howard is incredibly patient, easy to work with, and has an overall calming presence. Our son likened Howard to ‘Ted Lasso ‘- in that he was always smiling, energetic, and the ultimate champion and believer in our child and his abilities. I could not imagine a more kind, humble, and devoted person to have walked M into this precious transition to manhood.

Like my brother said after our magical Bar Mitzvah weekend, “We could use a few more Howards in this world!”

THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of your dedication and time and flexibility and patience and caring and acceptance and overall presence for Max and for us during these past 2 years. We are very lucky to have met you and to have you become part of our whole Bar Mitzvah experience. You are quite a special human and surrounding all of our anxiety and crazy busy lives, we want to take a moment to acknowledge YOU. You have been a true blessing in our lives.

We call our sons tutor Howard, the “Hebrew whisperer”
He took away all the doubts and worries that our son had about completing his Bar Mitzvah portion.
He makes the material approachable and understandable no matter what your level or learning needs. He is always positive and a pleasure to work with. We were so lucky to find him.
