I came into this class because I knew that Usher Strell was the top koyfer of JTS and I thought I could learn a lot from him. Quickly however it turned into a nightmare. 1. I couldn’t hear the professor because he spent the entire lecture time eating. Like the entire class. I don’t think he even had time to chew. 2. He referred to me as “dumb bitch” whenever I asked simple questions like what this weeks parsha is. 3. He assigns 30 hours a week of homework, most of it being acquiring food for him. Despite his incredibly handsome looks I would not recommend this class for anybody!!

Required that I feed him constantly. Difficult due to his massive size. Hard to reach his face around his stomach more like it.

Strongly disagree with the above review. Usher Strell was such a handsome professor that it outweighs all the other negatives. I often found myself daydreaming in class about him and his Viking-like looks. Made it extremely hard to focus but nonetheless I learned a lot. Mostly fake yeshivish words. Would recommend for any single Nashim.
