​Testimonial:
​Anonymous student in Zoom URJ Introduction to Judaism course

"Rabbi Loving was an amazing teacher and lecturer. I walked away with a clear understanding and confidence about Judaism and its core beliefs, traditions, history and more!  She fostered a supportive, warm and nurturing environment and encouraged us to question and share our thoughts. Rabbi Loving has supported us all in many ways with personal communication and care; when my partner was in the hospital, she reached out and made sure I was okay. I appreciated and needed that more than she could ever know. I think the world of her as a leader for URJ."

​Testimonial: Megan 

"I wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I enjoyed your class last night.  You are just so impressive and engaging. It's so clear you have a command of the subject matter from so many different and historical perspectives. Your enthusiasm is always so uplifting for me. You have such a gift for explaining things in a variety of fascinating ways that are so interesting and thought provoking. You lead and focus the ensuing discussions amazingly well. And believe me, that is not an easy task. We can be a lively bunch. :)  I also appreciate the way you utilize different methods for different learning styles. Loved your explanation of Mishnah and Gemara!

I say all of this about last night, but it equally applies to your leading Torah study. You have wisdom far beyond your years. Teaching, really good teaching, is an art, and you definitely have the gift. I feel blessed to have the privileged opportunity to learn from you. You're an amazing woman. Your parents must be profoundly proud of you."
