"I really love the concept of JUMP. It's nice to have a laid back atmosphere where I can meet other Jews in the city. The staff are REALLY welcoming and encourage me to drop by anytime. I am really excited to start some of their up-coming programs (cooking classes and hebrew classes). Thanks to their welcoming, warm, modern facility, it will be impossible to stay away from the JUMP centre!!!"

"I'm sure I'm not the first person to offer my congratulations and I won't be the last. The one year event was fantastic and you all deserve a great deal of credit, not only for the job you did this past Saturday, but for the wonderful work you're doing for our Jewish community. You have each affected me personally, so in case any of you are not getting enough credit for the incredible job you're doing, then the least I can do is say thank you."

"I’m really glad I came out. JUMP is a refreshing change of environment for me because I’m so used to gathering places on campus, and now that I’m about to graduate it's good to know that there's a place off-campus which offers such great opportunities to mingle and meet new people. The atmosphere is much more mature, I find, and I like that."

"JUMP is so amazingly inspirational to me, and I wanted to thank you so much for everything. I never thought that by going on a trip to Israel, I would gain so much respect and love for JUMP and for what you represent to the Jewish community and to all people in general. I cannot even describe how blessed I feel to not only be an ambassador of JUMP but to know people who believe and strive for everything that is possible; and achieve what they believe in. I truly want to thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"Just thought I'd let you know that I had a great time at the Shabbat dinner on Friday. The space is great, the atmosphere is warm, the food is delicious and the company is excellent. You're doing something great for the community and I look forward to being part of it."
~Jonathan
"The theme of the JUMP trip was reflecting upon one's actions and investigating ways to be a better person. Your actions provided me with such a clear example of Tikun-Olam and inspired me to be more giving in my own life. You allowed me the opportunity to experience an amazing city, while meeting 50 other Jewish friends, and rekindle my pride and identity as a Jew. Thank you again for your kindness. "
~Amy
"Words cannot express how thankful I am that you and your sponsors gave me a gift, invested in me, and felt I was worthwhile to take on a trip to strengthen my ties to Judaism and our community. Jewish opportunities for people my age and my level of Judaism are few and far between. When I heard about JUMP a few short months ago from a fellow birthright leader in training, I knew I had to check it out and I’m so glad I did."
~Kim
"It is inspiring for those in my generation to know that our Jewish community cares and invests in our future. The light of generosity that you extended to us, I hope to be able to pass and shine on to others in the community."
~Barak
"I didn't know what the holiday was about until last night. I ate an Asian pear this morning and was so appreciative that G-d provided it for us. I didn't realize the importance of Tu B’Shvat until last night. Thanks JUMP!"
~Candice
"I think Dinner and Discussion will thrive because the discussion and program is worthwhile. The Rabbi was terrific. He was able to engage many people in a non intimidating manner regarding subjects of Talmud and halachah. Just the word 'Talmud' is enough to scare most people off, let alone engage them- but somehow you’ve managed to do just that. I enjoyed listening to him, and I would like to attend again."
~David
"I think the work you do at JUMP has a very necessary and strong impact on our Jewish community and with the trip being my first JUMP experience, this point really resonated. All of your hard work, insight and dedication made this happen! Not only did I have a great time touring, chilling and meeting new people, but my Jewish spirit and love of learning was reignited."
