YONI STADLIN
From my first conversation with Yoni I was deeply impressed with his sharp mind,
professionalism, passion for learning, and generosity of spirit. Yoni is a natural
leader and he possesses a magnetic charisma that makes him an astounding
educator....
~ Elyssa Gaffin, Program Manager
Foundation for Jewish Camping
I have been in the business of Jewish education for 35 years and I can count on
one hand the number of people as qualified and motivated as Yoni....Yoni brings
a refreshing balance of modesty and initiative. In his young life, he has already
managed to:
·Serve as a group leader for the American Jewish World Service
·Work as an environmental educator on a commercial sailboat
·Serve as a valued member of the staff of five different camps
·Be a member of the "Teva Learning Center" staff for 3 years
·Organize and lead a group of 20 friends to work with children in
Turkey and India after their earthquakes
·Spend considerable time in Israel
·Take a "Semester at Sea" program on a ship that sailed around
the entire world
To top it off, he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. We should be so
lucky to have 100 Yonis.

RABBI DOV PERETZ ELKINS
As a life-long Jewish communal professional, I have had the pleasure of learning
from some of the greatest Jewish teachers of our generation. None of those
experiences, however, surpassed the pleasure I had at the opportunity to listen to
RabbiDov Peretz Elkins each Shabbat during his year of residency at my shul here
in Miami. The breadth and depth of his knowledge, his love of Zion and the Jewish
people and his engaging, unassuming and - at times - entertaining style all combined
to great effect for people of varying backgrounds and interests. As good as his
books are, he’s even better in person!
~ Jacob Solomon, Executive Director
Greater Miami Jewish Federation
Your program here last week for Jewish Book Month was outstanding. The audience
loved your riveting talk, your sense of humor, and the wealth of knowledge you
imparted in such an engaging and fascinating fashion....
~ Sandy Saada, Director of Cultural Arts
JCC of Buffalo, NY
Rabbi Dov Peretz Elkins captivates his audience as he offers profound insights of
the Jewish Tradition and shows how they can be a source of wisdom to us as we
confront life’s inevitable challenges. He inspires us to find, in the wisdom of the
past, the strength we need to meet the challenges of today.
