Jew Got Questions About Me?
Hi! I'm originally from London, England. After graduating college with a degree in political science and working for MTV as a stand up comedian on the side, I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a Rabbi!
For the past thirteen years, I have been the Educational Director of the Jewish Enrichment Center in the Village in Manhattan for young professionals in their 20s and 30s. I also teach college at Stern College for Women, Yeshiva University.
I teach classes, lead trips to Israel and Poland, do a lot of counseling, and I have married many young Jewish men and women, some of whom have met at my center or on my trips.
Over the years I have received many questions on every area of Jewish life so I decided to write a book with hundreds of these questions and short, easy to read, inspirational answers!
I know there are thousands of people who would really benefit from this book in communities all over the US and the world, including students in college and high school. I am self publishing and I really need your help! With the right funding I can create a really beautiful book, which will be of great benefit to so many people, no matter what their Jewish background is!
This isn't just an ordinary book! It answers so many questions, with short answers to questions on a variety of different topics. Literally hundreds of questions, with concise, informative answers written in a fun and readable way!
By helping me publish this book, countless Jewish and non-Jewish men and women would gain a terrific knowledge of Judaism and Jewish life, that will remain with them for the rest of their lives!
Please help me turn this dream into a reality!
The Impact
This book has something for everyone! No matter what your background is, everyone can benefit from this book. It's the kind of book you can hand to a colleague who wants to know why Jews do what they do! Why some Jews dress a certain way, or why they won't eat certain foods, why Israel is so important to them, and hundreds of other questions.
What I Need & What You Get
I need $18,000 to publish this book. The bulk of the costs will go to the editing, designing and the printing of the books, marketing and advertising. Most importantly I want to sponsor copies for high school and college students around the US! That would be really awesome!
Your money will make this dream a reality and you will get perks!
$18 Will allow me to know that you support this project and that's really important! You will receive a personal thank you e-mail from me.
$36 Will get you a signed copy of the book, includes mailing in the US. International shipping may apply.
$100 You get a mention in the book as a sponsor and a signed copy.
$360 A one hour, one on one personal phone or Skype session with me on any topic.
$1,500 Personal class for yourelf in your home or community. (Not including travel costs if distant from NY).
$3,000 Shabbat in your community. (Not including travel costs if distant from NY).
If I don't reach my goal I will (be sad) still publish as many books as I can.
