It is so warming to see that there are people that constantly look to train and bring about the beauty of the Jewish culture…it is no different than constantly updating one’s medical knowledge…. at the same time it is just as important to learn about all the different cultures , their needs and sensitivities!!
Kol hakovod to all above. The local askonim from the NJCA have helped my family with sensitivity and courage in a time of need.
