Reviews and Comments on Torah Flora Programs

“I could have sat all day and listened to Jon share his knowledge and passion about TorahFlora. Jon’s botanical depth of knowledge and the way that he aligns it to history and to the Torah is an unique blend.  In the one program that Jon presented for the Jewish Federation of the Berkshires, I went away having learned much about specific plants that are available to us and how we might discover their properties and applications in both our secular and in our Judaic lives.”
Nancy Maurice Rogers, Program Director
Jewish Federation of the Berkshires

“What a brilliant presentation you gave today! I hope you saw from the students’–and my–enthralled expressions that your work is quite remarkable and fascinating, and I hope as well that today will lead to many speaking engagements; you deserve a wide audience. I am grateful for your knowledge and your wonderful way of sharing it.”

“I took part in a walking tour at Isabella Friedman in the summer with Dr. Jon Greenberg, and found it most enlightening and interesting! The stories he told were quite engaging and the amount of knowledge I gained in such a short amount of time was amazing. I look forward to learning more!”
