"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."

"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."
- Ellen Jaffe
"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."
