Toastmasters International was started in the USA many years ago so that would-be speakers could gather together and pracise giving speeches and get contructive feedback from a supportive group. America, naturally has many groups. So do the major cities in most countries of the English speaking world. Most groups speak English. But there are also a couple of groups which speak European languages in Western Europe and one in London, England. Singapore has a couple of groups where they speak Mandarin. I don't know whether there's a Hebrew-speaking club in Israel. The orthodox can go to a shul anywhere in the world and meet the rabbi and make friends. Non-religious Jews, non-Jews, and of course religious Jews can go to a Toastmasters group anywhere in the world and have an evening's entertainment listening to speeches. If you type in the words Toastmasters and International and then find a club you can find a club in your nearest big city or another place which you are visiting on holiday. I have belonged to a group overseas and two in London. I also attended meetings in Shanghai, Singapore and Thailand. In London one of the groups I went to had a large Jewish South African membership. Another has a member who is a rabbi who wants to improve his speech-giving. He is already very good. Why should you go to a Toastmasters meeting? Why not? Why do Jews always answer a question with a question? Why not? |

Dear Sirs: As a Toastmaster former member I believe this is an opportunity to meet and learn new techniques in public speaking. As for meeting Jewish members of Toastmasters Internl in Omaha Ne have not found one yet. Lou
