I"When I first began studying the Torah with Rabbi Joel, I had no idea what life changing, mind altering and deep transformation was awaiting me. Rabbi was able to show me Torah in a way that I had never imagined it to be. He showed me how to 'learn' Torah, not just read it. His system of teaching is a "quick induction" into Torah Learning. He taught me how to traverse the Torah, combining many different sources and "telescoping" them to better see the true meaning behind the stories. Finally for once in my life, the Torah/Bible made sense. The confounding stories became clear, thank you Rabbi for showing me the Way of Torah!" -D. Miller (Private Student)

"My learning with Rabbi Bakst can only be said to be a journey from the darkness into the light. He demonstrated to me as clear as the moon shining brightly in a dark night sky that the wisdom transmitted through the Talmudic sages from Moses at Sinai is, far from petty religious teachings, actually an advanced mathematical theory/science of consciousness which is the master key to the interface between all systems of knowledge and all dimensions of being. With this body of teachings I received from my master, I have a working knowledge of how to interact with higher dimensions of consciousness and receive scientific information from them, for the enhancement of living conditions for all life on Earth. The journey of truth-discovery Rabbi Bakst set me on is the most thrilling and fast paced experience of learning imaginable, and it only gets better and better." -A. Lipsitz (Private Student)
