    I have never felt so much emotion when hearing the Shofar until hearing the way you guys blew it. I was almost in tears every time.

    Dear Rabbi Gurary my son had a amazing year. he said you did everything for them. from waking them up in the morning to making sure they came to davening.
    and when he was not feeling well in june and you brought him tea twice a day. I made up my mind that all my sons are going to Golden beach. I hope you’re still there them he is only 17 years old now.
