What more can I ask for?

Dear Allen:
What a fabulous trip! This was the best one of my life. You are so knowledgeable and fun to be with.
I understand now what it is to live in a Jewish State and make the commitment to be PROUD and learned of your Jewish heritage. I never see this kind of Jewish love or commitment in NY. And yes I know what you mean about dedicating yourself to being "really Jewish" by living in the Holy Land. If I were younger and had the opportunity I would have chosen a life on the kibbutz as that lifestyle is very appealing to me.
You were able to show us how Christianity and Judaism interchanged in Jesus' time. You showed us the commonalities of the religions rather then the differences. If only everyone did this it would bring us together and not divide.
You are a special person and it shows. (I already told the Smart Tours have wonderful you are.)
If you are coming to NY let me know and we can "break bread" at our Jewish delis even though not as good as Israel. I would love to hear from you.
P.S. I got a good Israeli cookbook and am making several of the salads and meats. I love the food!

Best Regards, Your friend in Great Neck, Long Island, NY

Here Is a great comment from wonderful people I had the pleasure of guiding:

"Hi Allen,
Thanks again for guiding us through Israel. We learned so much from you. Your knowledge on the history and practices of all the ethnic and religious groups was amazing.

Enclosed is the picture that was taken with the 4 in my party.
Take care,
Lon M."

I am so happy you had a good lime!

What does a tour guide do when he needs a rest from a very eventful week?
After a week of great tours, meting wonderful people from around the world-
I took the family on an educational trip to the Lower Galilee!
Quality time and a nice picnic are all i needed to re-charge.
Ready for another week!

Small country, Loads & loads to see!

About 1200 square kilometres, loaded with beauty and history. A piece of land well worth visiting.

Spent a few hours this morning, at the museum (In fact, a heritage site) for the Jewish underground soldiers who fought against the British mandate which governed the state to be for 30 years (1918-1948).
They where also the beginning and foundation for the IDF- Israel Defens Forces to come.

Many of them were caught in action. Anything from posting bulletins on the streets (Facebook wasn't here yet...) to actual use of weapons was punishable: even death sentences were rendered!

at this jail house, the origin of which is a 19th century Russian women pilgrim dormitory, many of these young men and women spent their best years.

Two of them took their own life, hours before being hung: death by their own hands was better to them then allowing was they perceived as an illegal act by an interim governor of the land.

Among us today was also the 95 year old (then a young man of 24!) soldier, who prepared the explosive device that Moshe Barazani and Meir Feinstein used on the morning of April 21, 1947, both only 20 years old!

This heritage site holds many more stories, that are waiting to be told!
