The Hebrew Corner has provided the perfect alternative to traditional large classroom study for my Bat-Mitzvah bound daughter. The personal touch provided with the full curriculum that Cantor Avima has developed truly makes my daughter excited every week for meaningful Hebrew studies.

Avima Rudavsky Darnov is the tutor for my son, in preparation for Bar Mitzvah in 2008. I chose Avima for this important responsibility based on my perspective of her strengths and style. She has exceeded my expectations. What was and is important to me is that my son's tutor be prepared and focused on a timeline, educate my son on the history of our faith and people in an interesting and structured manner, teach him how to read Hebrew and be prepared for the Bar Mitzvah ceremony, be fair minded in a secular way about other religions and the distinction between what is written in the Bible and what may be literally accurate and potentially figuratively accurate, and become proud of his heritage through knowledge.

I would just like to say Cantor Darnov, our experience with you this year was the most joyful of all Alec's years in Hebrew school.The kids were really interested in learning with you--you are exciting innovative and went out or your way to spend personal time with each of the students. You taught what was necessary and also what the kids were interested in. You are warm, inviting and for the first year ever, when I said to my son, Its time for Hebrew school, there was no complaint!! He picked up his books and we went. Thank you for that. We look forward to continuing studies, and I appreciate you opening up his desire to study. Thank you.

Our daughter Shelby was tutored for her Bat Mitzvah by The Hebrew Corner for almost 5 months, and mainly by Rabbi Allen. Shelby was studying for a Sunday morning service, including the reading of a prayer from the Torah. The Hebrew Corner provided everything that was needed for the preparation of the service, including a CD and study guides to review during the week, the material that was covered at each lesson. Cantor Avima and Rabbi Allen were always patient, professional and very warm people. They treated Shelby like their own daughter. When it came to the ceremony on May 29, 2011, everything went off without incident. We received nothing but accolades about the service, which included the accompaniment of the guitar, the beautiful voice of the cantor, and the philosophy of the rabbi in speech. We highly recommend The Hebrew Corner for the Bar or Bat Mitzvah experience.
