  "Introducing Mike Comins and TorahTrek to my congregation brought a deep sense of Jewish learning and a renewed engagement with Jewish spirituality. Hikers on his day-long trek in the Santa Monica Mountains were reinspired about Judaism and Jewish environmentalism. Students in his late-night Shavuot study session praised his engaging, participatory style and mastery of the topic. He has a knack for making complex material easily accessible and relevant."
