What people say ...
Shai Mazor Power, Phoenix AZ
We are truly grateful to Rabbi Reuben Modek for officiating at our son, Shai’s, Bar Mitzvah in the beautiful Tunisian Synagogue in Jerusalem. Rabbi Modek’s kindness, patience, and gentle guidance made all the difference in preparing Shai for his ceremony. He thoughtfully customized the ceremony as well as seamlessly blended English and Hebrew, making sure our relatives from Israel and guests from the US felt fully included. Rabbi Modek’s leadership added so much meaning to our celebration. We highly recommend him. Thank You Rabbi Reuben Modek for an unforgettable Bar Mitzvah
Justin Greisberg, Father, Blauvelt NY
Rabbi Modek did a great job preparing Jake for the ceremony. Jake had a thorough overview of Judaism’s history, and traditions. Jake wanted to learn Hebrew. With the Rabbi’s skillful instruction and much practice he actually was able to accomplish it. The ceremony was super meaningful for both Jake and our family. We also appreciated it that with Rabbi Modek we could “break the mold”, because our family had stepped away from conventional religion, and chose to creatively reconnect when Jake was already 17.
Jake Greisberg, Bar Mitzvah boy, Blauvelt NY
Rabbi Modek was very accommodating. Having previously not engaged myself in Judaism and not having a traditional ceremony until the age of 17, my experience here was very meaningful. Rabbi Modek did an excellent job of educating me about Judaism and teaching me Hebrew, making this a fun and enjoyable process. I very much owe Rabbi Modek for helping me reclaim my Jewish heritage and culture.

Our daughter found Rabbi Modek online and the two of them immediately hit it off. The Rabbi worked with her, her schedule and her Hebrew abilities. Our outdoors venue by the water was great, the service was perfect, and the Rabbi was an inspiration. We added a Cantor, and the music elevated the ceremony. The Rabbi even had a sense of humor. Seriously, we truly like Rabbi Modek.
Ed and Miriam Mandell – Nyack NY
My son’s BM ceremony was unique and memorable. It was held at the historical mountaintop of Masada, overlooking the Dead Sea. The Perfect location. Rabbi Modek made our son’s ceremony personalized, intimate and stress free. He created a program that we could easily follow along and made sure that everyone who attended the ceremony took an active part in it. We highly recommend Rabbi Modek to anyone looking for an amazing Bar Mitzvah experience in Israel.
