Kobi has the unique ability to communicate effectively his material to all levels of understanding. He challenges his audiences to expand their knowledge base and be open to new ideas. Kobi engages his students in a way that creates cross-cultural compentencies, and does so with grace, humor and a clear love of both the subject matter and the teaching experience.

Kobi has been such an informed and approachable speaker. We have looked forward to our classes each week because not only was the information interesting, but the Power Point presentations were very well done. We have covered so many topics, Some very intricate and some humorous. Kobi cannot only discuss class work but can give insight into Middle East news and how life is effected there.

Kobi Chumash is an inspiring teacher who infuses his lessons with interesting visuals and well paced dialogue. Kobi is the total package...an exemplary teacher whose thought-provoking questions lead to deeper understanding of complex subjects.

I look forward to each Tuesday evening when our group gathers to learn from and share insights with Kobi. Although the Melton classes are prescribed by the text that is provided, Kobi brings his own knowledge, related facts and sense of humor to the discussions. I am new to the group this year, so everyone else will graduate without me. We are looking for a dozen new members so I can continue my Melton studies with Kobi. I highly recommend the class and hope anyone who is interested will sign up in the fall.

Kobi is one of those rare teachers who enjoys teaching. He communicates this clearly in every class he offers. As a student, I have learned so much and had a lot of fun, and I always looked forward to the next session. I have taken several courses with Kobi and have learned so much

I first met Kobi in 2008 when he started teaching my son, Alex, for his Bar-Mitzvah. I have since taken several Hebrew classes, as well as two years of Melton classes with him. He is a born educator. He is thorough, patient, funny and very passionate about his teachings. He welcomes class participation. Kobi always keeps us interested and entertained!!

We were very much enriched by the Crash Course in Jewish History taught by Kobi Chumash under the auspices of the Reform Jewish Movement. He was very clearly knowledgeable in Jewish/Israeli history and imparted his thorough knowledge and expertise with professionalism, humor and charisma. His lectures were always upbeat and interesting because his teaching methods were interactive and stimulating. Raves. Raves. Raves. NEVER boring!

A class with Kobi is never dull. He packs in an incredible amount of information and stretches one's preconceived notions with a wonderful sense of humor. He is always well prepared and tells it like it is. I recommend him highly. Everyone will find much to enjoy while absorbing lots of new information in any of his classes.

Israel is my spiritual home. I wanted to understand something of its history and culture. Kobi included so much more than I had thought to ask! Thank you! Todah Rabah!

It's a great intro to learn about Jewish life. I've learned more by coming to this class about Jews, Jewish life and customs and thoughts, than I ever could have imagined. More importantly I've gained a real liking for it.
Bob Fortune
The seminar provided vast insight into everyday life in Israel and the many different types of lifestyles that co-exist. I highly recommend this seminar, and hope to visit Israel in the future. Thank you!
