He is truly a very very special teacher no matter what learning experience you may have had. And with Rabbi Schwartz's wide range of knowledge, he could teach you just about any Torah book or topic in Judaism you're interested in (in Hebrew or English). We've also spoken deeply and at great length about personal issues. And I have found him to be extremely helpful in these areas as well.

Even though we have never met each other face to face, he has definitely become one of my very closest friends and confidants. To say that I've benefited from him as my teacher, supporter and caring friend is simply an understatement. He makes me a wiser human being and Jew; he supports me when I'm struggling; and he always brings a smile to my face and often makes me laugh. Because of his irrepressible optimism and joyous attitude toward the awesome gift and opportunity of every moment of life that God has given each of us, combined with his humility (really!), patience (truly!) and compassion for people (not exaggerating!), he might be just the teacher, motivational coach or friend (or even all three!) that you have always wanted.
