Queens, NY"I always wanted to receive smicha. Machon Smicha made it possible for me to do so. They provided the ability to learn at my own pace; wherever and whenever it was most convenient for me, as well as being able to ask whatever questions i may have had. Rabbi Gurevitz was most helpful in patiently answering any questions I had at almost any time of day or night."
