United States3 years ago - Still a part of SWFS
Rabbi Ami was our Rabbi when we were part of the congregation when we lived in NY. He helped teach and inspire my children at school and captivated us with his inspiring sermons at services. Now that we have moved away I am so happy for this podcast so I can still feel a part of congregation, still be motivated and moved by his words and still share his words and wisdom with my children. Thank you Rabbi and SWFS
