Shimona is one of the most creative and forward thinking educators I have worked with. I have collaborated with her on several projects and have always been impressed by her organization, professionalism and attention to detail.

Shimona has a rare combination of spiritual, intellectual, and creative gifts, and her talks are inspiring and thought-provoking. She is the kind of speaker who can change lives.

Stephanie Wellen Levine, Tufts University, Cambridge, MA

Shimona is simply a superb teacher. She has a unique way of bringing meaning to life experiences. She reaches people in a very individual way even when teaching to a large group. Her approach is modern even when her explanations root back to the ancient. I highly recommend listening to Shimona.

Shimona throws out nuggets of wisdom that all of us can put in our pockets and live off for a few years. She speaks with confidence, providing her audience the same. Her audience is always engaged, entertained and enriched.

Tzvi Freeman, Chabad.org, Vancouver, Canada

I hired Shimona as a speaker whilst Dean of visual Arts, New World School of Arts in Miami. Shimona integrates creativity with deep knowledge and spiritual energies in public speaking, workshops, and retreats. Highly recommended!

I want you to know the impact your lectures had on me as a result of the seminar I attended in March. I am the president of a small brokerage firm. Since returning from from your classes three months ago, I have been empowered to bring in 3 new national accounts and have already doubled our billings over last year. Thank you.

JICNY, Jewish International Connection NY

I attended a conference with Shimona Tzukernik in the summer of 2009. This conference featured some of the leading thinkers, orators, and writers of the American Jewish community. Shimona gave masterful presentations that electrified the audience and caused everyone to think deeply about the issues she presented. I consider Shimona a revolutionary thinker who has brought the depths and profundity of Jewish mysticism and Jewish wisdom to audiences of all persuasions. If I can be of any sort of assistance please do not hesitate to be in touch.

Rabbi Shmuley, Boteach, NJ

Shimona spent two days at a mastermind group meeting where many of us had the opportunity to speak. When Shimona spoke there was undivided attention paid to every word u2013 she captivated the audience with her clear delivery and with her depth of wisdom. There was not a person in our group that would miss a presentation of Shimonau2019s. I hope you donu2019t either because it may change your thinking and ultimately for some your lives!

Shimonau2019s wisdom, knowledge and education all has a light infused within. Shimona is such a powerful, authentic educator!

Shimona, I heard rave reviews of yesterdays session. Both event chairsu2026texted me to say how well they thought it went. It was appreciated by both groups of women, those who have been studying and those who had their first taste. I hope to do it more oftenu2026Thanks so much.

Dina Kantor, Westport CT

I have heard Shimona speak several times. Each time I marvel on her ability to eloquently transmit a deep mystical message to the common lay person. Shimonau2019s style is intellectually stimulating as well as flowing and artistic in description. Shimona is extremely insightful and intuitive in her ability to aces and help resolve personal issues. My wife and I feel blessed to call Shimona a personal friend and an inspiration.

Amichai Cohen, Director Live Kabbalah, Founder Earth & Air Winery

I just wanted to thank you so much for sharing your inspiring wisdom throughout the retreat.

You are truly a light u2013 I canu2019t thank you enough! I hope to keep in touch.

Erica Zviklin, NJ

Shimona is a class act! She weaves her intelligence, artistic talents, perceptive senses and depth and breadth of knowledge into remarkable, original tapestries. She is an essential ingredient in any program.

Molly Resnik, Director MATCKH

Shimona is a truly gifted and inspired teacher who always makes learning a profoundly personal and stimulating experience. She manages to combine presenting an enormous amount of material with a very entertaining and engaging style that leaves you not only hanging onto every word but wanting to retain and record each one as well. Her topics are deep and relevant, culled primarily from Biblical and mystical teachings but integrating these lessons with current trends in psychology and focusing on personal growth. Shimona isnu2019t afraid to bring her own real life experiences and her personal struggles for authenticity and transcendence to the table. In doing so, she pulls all of us along with her.

Bracha Meshchaninov, Founder Women's TLC and Tiferet Movement

Shimona spoke at our centre at Ohio State University and we were extremely pleased, but even more importantly the students adored her. She was captivating and inspiring and related extremely well to the modern day college crowd. She conveyed very spiritual ideas in a very practical way that made it applicable to the audience, and the girls were truly moved by her presentation. I was so happy to have her, in fact I am now learning privately with a girl as a direct result of Shimonau2019s words.

Sara Deitsch, Co-Director Schottenstein Chabad House

I have to commend everyone who gave classes this year as the learning was excellent, and quite diverseu2026It was nice to see new faces and familiar faces. It is refreshing to connect to so many people from all different backgrounds. The place was spectacular. I returned home from the retreat feeling rejuvenated and elevated. The spark of Chassidut continues to amaze me and the learning keeps getting better and better.
