What people are saying about our tours

"We looked for a kosher tour, and received much more--a spiritually uplifing experience that deepened our understanding of and appreciation for our Jewish heritage."

- Sam and Susan Joffe, Merrick, New York

"I’m still on a high from the amazing trip. Yasher kochachem!  It was an added bonus to have all the trip creators (i.e., you and Ilana in addition to Marc) participating with us."

- Ellen Warner, Toronto, ON

"It was a distinct pleasure for me to be part of the wonderful group of people who made up the "Torah in Motion" group on this very special tour of Spain. It truly was an outstanding and memorable experience. With wishes for besurot tovot, and kindest regards."

- Esther Konig

"Thank you for giving us the opportunity to learn about the  Jewish history of Sfarad in the company of such extraordinary people. I think it is important for Ashkenazim to explore Sephardi history in order to understand where our fellow Jews are coming from.  It was truly elucidating. Somehow one can read about it all day long, but to be there is something else, something much deeper."
