During the pandemic I connected with the Leo Baeck College in London and began an intensive course of study there that continued for several years since then. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity I have had to learn from truly excellent teachers, such as: Rbs. Jonathan Magonet, Micheal Hilton and his Muslim co-teacher Harith Ramli, Renee Reitsma,  Fred Morgan (Australia), Robyn Ashworth-Steen among others, as well as Pamela Hartog’s courses on Jewish pedagogy,
