Reflections on Street Torah

Meeting the homeless people was great because it changed my perspective completely. I can honestly say this was a life changing experience.
-Josh S, San Anselmo, CA

Our trip to the park was most meaningful, speaking with the homeless and providing them with “gifts”. The people and their stories were so interesting and allowed us to empathize and truly see homelessness close to home. I was moved by the experience and felt my positive attitude helped a person close by.

Street Torah was the most meaningful experience for me because it shattered my preconceived notions of the homeless.
-Julian S, Ridgewood, NJ

Visiting the homeless opened my eyes to what they have to go through and how it isn’t always their fault. I now have more compassion for them.

Street Torah was really meaningful. It made me feel a stronger bond to all types of people and helped me understand the situation of homeless people more.
