What can I say but FANTASTIC! We had not been to Israel before and the trip was beyond my expectations. We own a travel company and I was so impressed with Gilad, our guide and Moti, our driver. Gilad is a passionate Israeli with a great ability to educate the participants with a desire to learn more. Moti is a gentle driver with great ease behind the wheel at every challenge. I hope to bring my children back to work on a kibbutz for the summer.

Nimrod, now that I am home, I have the time to reflect on our temple’s journey to Israel. You were so attentive and responsive to me and to our group. Your counsel and advice enabled us to have a wonderful mission to Israel. Everyone had a fabulous time. They learned, they studied, they grew, they cried, they laughed and their lives were changed. I thank you again for all that you have meant to us and I look forward to our working together again in the future. Please continue to stay in touch with me. To you and all those who work with you, my very sincere thanks.

Bryan and I arrived home this morning in Newark, after our trip with ARZA World. We're tired but so very pleased and impressed with your company and the way we traveled. I could not yet go to sleep without sending you a quick Toda Raba!
— Dorothy and Bryan Bach, Bainbridge Island, WA
My husband Stephen and I just returned from our trip, which included members of both our congregations, Union Temple of Brooklyn and the Garden City Jewish Center. We were gratified to be able to give our congregants a ten-day immersion into the history and beauty of the land, as well as of the ongoing complexities of contemporary Israeli life. Our people came away with a great deal to think about and to process, but that of course is the point. We are grateful to ARZA for its willingness to work so assiduously with us to shape this trip, both with its own expert advice and in accordance with our wishes.
Thank you, ARZA/Da’at - we'll be back.
—Rabbi Linda Henry Goodman, Union Temple of Brooklyn, NY
Thank you, ARZA, for a seamless and memorable trip to Eretz Israel. I must take this opportunity to tell you that we might have had a completely different experience had we not been lucky enough to have Muki lead us on this journey. He was hands-on and showed a genuine love for teaching Jews about the Jewish state. Muki could relate to and teach Jews of any level of knowledge (from my 11-year-old daughter to my husband who has been there six times and has led groups himself). His humor and ability to get to know each and every one of us, along with his Hebrew word of the day was simply "sof haderech"!

I want to thank you for all that you did to make our recent temple trip such a success. From the moment we reached Newark Airport, it all came together and everyone had a wonderful time. There is great excitement here for our October 2008 trip. Every day I have more people telling me that they plan on joining us. So, get ready for the next Anshe Emeth trip.
—Rabbi Bennett Miller, Anshe Emeth Memorial Temple, New Brunswick, NJ
I know you are very accustomed to leading many tours, but you were truly exceptional with our group. It was a miracle that seventy Jewish people (ages 8 through 83) had a positive, life-changing experience without any complaints! Each day was better than the day before. This trip was extremely gratifying for me, as I saw my hopes and dreams for a successful trip actually come to fruition. As the co-chair of the trip, I worried like a Jewish mother that everything would go well. After many meetings, phone calls and emails, our dreams did come true. Thanks to all of you for helping make this dream a reality.
—Ellen Barron, Temple Emanuel, Westfield, NJ
Thank you for setting up a great trip for us. Our family had a fantastic time and the travel arrangements and logistics were outstanding.
—Alan and Cindy Zuckerbrod, Westport, CT
Wow! It was awesome!
—Rabbi Heidi Cohen, Temple Beth Sholom, Santa Ana, CA
The tour was, in your words, "an experience of a lifetime," thanks to our guide, Ziv Cohen. He is a five-star guide and I can't imagine this tour without him. A dedicated professional, his knowledge and expertise were endless. He brought ancient characters to life. He is well informed about current events, history and the various cultures. We were very lucky to have him as our guide!
