sample of feedback - Jewish groups
A sample of feedback on the books, workbook and events from Jewish groups &/or events involving Jewish figures &/or the media:
SAMPLE OF BOOK FEEDBACK:
Richard Freedman, Director, South African Holocaust & Genocide Foundation: "The First Thirty has given me much food for thought and I am quite sure will resonate with me in the years to come. Today is Youth Day in South Africa which recognises the contribution that young people have made in the struggle against apartheid and the rebuilding of our country after apartheid. It is also meant to inspire young people to take on their own potential and to find their way in the world. This book shows how that is possible and that it mostly the curved line which offers the greatest opportunity for growth and for something special to be achieved...."
Alisha Pedowitz, BJE Impact: Center for Jewish Service Learning: "...a powerful reminder that each individual has the power to drastically improve the world around them, often through seemingly small actions......"
Susan Katz, Executive Director, Jewish Federation of Peoria: "The Silhouette Man was inspiring and energizing and reminded me of the importance of having passion in my work. Greg is truly an inspiration to all of us who want to make the world a better place."

SAMPLE OF WORKBOOK FEEDBACK:
Chris Herman, Diller Teen Fellows: “[A Place To Sit is] a tremendously helpful resource for any program that encourages its participants to be empowered and inspired leaders with a sense of commitment to serve and a deeper understanding of their responsibility to the world."
Laura B, Genesis Mitzvah Fund Program Coordinator, Jewish Community Foundation: "...The entire book was such an enjoyable read...I will be distributing the book to about 30...tutors in the Shabbat School program at my synagogue as a staff appreciation gift. I also intend to use it, along with the workbook (A Place To Sit) based on the book , as a teaching tool for teen philanthropy recruitment."

SAMPLE OF READINGS FEEDBACK:
Lillian Hellman, Head of School, Mizel Jewish Community Day School (Tulsa, OK): "Our Kindergarten through fourth graders all sat in rapt attention as Greg read the pages, projected on a screen, of the wonderful new book (The Milkshake Man) he is working on... The stock response of shock and amazement was wonderful to witness when the truth was revealed that he was actually "The Milkshake Man." During the art activity after the reading, the students created wonderful, creative and thoughtful pictures of how they can make an impact in the world, even as a kid. It was great having him at our school."
SAMPLE OF SPEECH FEEDBACK:
Jennifer Berkson Zislis, Director, Elaine Frank Apachi Day Camp (JCC): "...Greg was .amazing and spoke on so many levels to what we want staff to be like and do. We loved it and it was an exciting opportunity to work together! Thank you!"
Philip P, following a Donor Appreciation Event for an organization that supports Jewish seniors: “...an inspiring example of how one life can leverage and impact whole communities.…”

SAMPLE OF MEDIA:
The Washington Post: "The legacies of Greg Forbes Siegman and Steven Spielberg are the people they have helped and the lessons and images they have brought to life."
