Why Jews Would Enjoy Toastmasters International


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?
