"Exciting and extraordinarily creative ideas oozed from the four artists of Kol HaOt as they demonstrated how art could and should be used to transmit the values which are most basic to Judaism. Their original and fresh approach to what is essential in Jewish education and their notions of how to achieve their goals energized everyone in attendance. It was a privilege to be included!"

"The evening program presented by the four partners involved in the Kol HaOt enterprise was a delight. The program, guided by Matt, David, Yair and Elyssa, unfolded into an ever-deepening experience of Jewish learning, meeting and conversation with those in the room, and deep respect on my part for the important Jewish cultural work that Kol HaOt is doing."

Reactions from the first Kol HaOt Showcase Evening:
"Kol HaOt offers families and gatherings of all ages a way into Judaism and Israel through the arts that awakens wonder and amazement. By inviting participants to look, listen , touch, and feel deeply, Kol HaOt enables participants to encounter personally and spiritually the meanings of our texts and traditions. As its name suggests, Kol HaOt makes available the voices of the letters, and so opens our texts for those who think they already know them and for those for whom they have been closed."

"Kol HaOt is charting a new path to the hearts and minds of Jewish learners, inspiring them with the beauty and complexity of Jewish ideas and showing them how to unlock their own creativity. The recent seminar was a powerful inspiration, and I'm equally convinced about Kol HaOt's ability to grow the reach of its educational programs to a large international audience as I am about the paradigm shift that visual/tactile learning will bring to classrooms and camps."
