After the loss of my beloved wife Muriel Z’L last year I confess I was dreading my first Seder and Pesach in 63 years without her by my side. However once the position became clear, Rabbi David Lapin and Gilda Posner and their respective families lost no opportunity of involving us with them and with other guests, as well as in the program generally.
It is thanks to them that we enjoyed the Chag more than we had ever hoped for, and I shall be most grateful if you will convey my heartfelt thanks and that of my son and granddaughter to them for their empathy.
As to the program itself, I am happy to have been able to contribute something to its content and hope, IY’H, to be able to do so again in the future.
Kind regards and Shabbat Shalom
David & Chana, Shelley, Yossi, Dina, Ariel and all at Team Kosher Travelers!
As we approach our first Shabbos after Rhodes, our nearly 30 BA’H family members are looking around for our monster table on the PR level and can’t quite understand why the spread of delicacies isn’t quite what it was this time last week. Or the week before…
It’s therefore an appropriate time to thank you all for the most positive, relaxing, fun filled and meaningful holiday we have ever experienced as a family.
From start to finish, it has been an absolute pleasure to deal with you all. The logistics of our booking were not the easiest and, throughout, you helped find solutions that made things work.
We were overwhelmed when we arrived and equally overwhelmed when we reluctantly left! The attention to detail was unparalleled throughout; the location was beautiful and the class with which you all operated was something hugely impressive.
We chose Pesach to celebrate a momentous occasion in Sue & Alfred’s lives and you helped us fulfil that celebration in style and love. And for that and a fabulous 12 days and nights, we will be forever grateful to you all.
Keep doing what you do and with the usual smiles on your faces; it is a unique and superb example to your industry.
Wishing you all a Shabbat Shalom and with love and thanks always
David and Chana,
Thank you again for an incredible program and meaningful Pesach. I truly appreciate your kindness in inviting me to join you and your family for Shabbat meals. It was fun!
I would love to continue our marketing conversation. I am happy to speak to any person to tell them how wonderful the program was and help in any way with Guest Relations (I can handle tough personalities with ease 🙂
Both of your passion and understanding/expertise in this business is evident. You took care of every detail and it showed. It made a huge impact on the my family’s chag.
Thank you again.
Shabbat Shalom.
All the best,
