Dr. Isaac Amon recently gave an absolutely amazing presentation surrounding The Jews in Early America. To say that this presentation was very informative is putting it lightly. His knowledge of the history of the Jewish people is awe inspiring. The attendees to our event gave rave reviews of this presentation, as well as his presenting style.

Dear Dr. Amon, I'm thankful to you beyond words for your time with us. What I learned will haunt me for life, which is good. It wasn't till this morning over Shacharit that it fully sank in how lucky I am to have a siddur in hand and all the literature and knowledge I want. My deepest thanks, again, for your life-changing program. It will never leave me. May you go from strength to strength.

It was an honor and joy to listen to your lecture last Wednesday. No doubt, it was profound research, well-articulated, and an intense conjunction of philosophy, theology, history, tradition, and politics. I am truly blessed to have witnessed that. You are and will continue to be a towering, formidable, and yet kind and cordial figure in whatever you pursue.

Dr. Isaac Amon gave a wonderful and highly informative talk about the Holocaust in the Balkans and Greece. Community members whose families came from Rhodes and Salonika were particularly moved and the students were fascinated. I heard very positive feedback from attendees afterwards. His speaking style well suited our audience and I warmly and highly recommend him.
