A Facebook comment from one of my talmidim from my first year at MTA:
Aqibha Y Weisinger Actually I'm probably frum today because Yosef Gavriel Bechhofer dared me to figure out what I believe in instead of just being cynical and negative. I mean, there are other factors, but that was a sizeable one.

I can add. I'm another student from that year. I think I'd still be frum without that class, but you created a vibrant atmosphere where we were excited to talk and think about random things in Jewish philosophy. It wasn't nerdy, it was dynamic. My friends from other schools didn't all get the same experience.
