Dear Gavriel

Dear Gavriel,

I came to you a broken man, angry and frustrated, with my head filled with many futile thoughts. And you in your wonderful calm way taught me meditation. This taught me how to calm down, empty my head of thoughts and look out at the world with a proper perspective. I am 57 years old and most of my life passed in anger with futile thoughts. It is not easy to change at this age. I have changed, my head no longer has futile and empty thoughts and I am enjoying life. All of this is to your credit. Thank you dear brother.

Thank you very much.

Letter of Recomendation

Tsfat, 1st Kislev, 5771

To whom it may concern

We hereby acknowledge that Rabbi Shmuel Gavriel Tornek has been giving classes and workshops at Ascent in the framework of a meditation seminar called "Living in Divine Space".

In the course of the seminar, Rabbi Tornek has given an introduction to Kosher Meditation which was very well received by the participants of all ages and backgrounds.

Classes were followed by meditation exercises that were greatly appreciated. People left the seminar with a totally new approach to the subject. Rabbi Tornek has shown a lot of patience and dedication spending a lot of time to answer questions and one to one conversations.

We look forward to having him come again for a new seminar on the subject.
