As we spent Shabbos with Shalom Noach, we got to appreciate more and more all the effort and the concern for the little details that you invested in this trip. He truly gained so much, and has grown so much form the experience. The leadership role you play is not one that can be taught in any class. Can't wait to see the pictures.

I don't have enough words to thank you for giving Aber the most memorable summer experience, he grew in many ways on the trip, you showed him how to work hard for something you want and not to give up when the going gets rough. This made a positive impact on him and he gained tools to deal with life's challenges that no schooling could ever teach.

I don't know how you pulled this off but in this zechus may I bless you with a sweet healthy year. Nachas from your kids and hatzlacha in all of your endeavors.

I can't thank you enough. Though I only spoke to Yakov for a few minutes while in the van, I could hear in his voice a very happy and proud young man. I am truly grateful and know that Yakov saw the beautiful and very vulnerable side of himself and others. I truly hope the lessons and sense of inner worthiness will give him the ability to form better relatioships with those around him and fortify him for the challenges that lay ahead. It is truly a testament to the work you've done. That authentic you must have come through to the boys. I hope you carry the wonderful feeling of accomplishment of this endeavor into your life and may it be a zechus for you and your family!

My mother kept saying , Moshe is so incredible, wish he could be cloned! She was very grateful as well to you! All the best and rest up! If there was anything that came up on the trip that you think would be helpful for me to know, to gain more awareness of Yakov and myself, I would love the feedback and of course if Yakov wouldn't mind.

Thank you!
