“You have been amazing all the way through this experience. Alma cannot be happier; she is adjusting beautifully…Thank you for organizing everything to the detail and supporting our family from the beginning of the process.”
-Ruben and Aida
“Thank you for everything you have done for the boy's. Dovid seems to be having a great experience… Knowing how much there is to do when starting new programs, I am not just impressed but amazed at how cooperative and quickly everyone is responding.”
-Debbie
“This school is great! I could go on for hours talking about how wonderful it is. The food, the dorms, the facilities, the weather, the kids, the teachers - it is all wonderful! The Israeli boys are all so cool, and very friendly…[the experience] is allowing me to see a wide range of Jews, which is very nice.”
-Micha
“Thank you so much. I am continuously reminded of the Talmudic commandment regarding the three responsibilities a parent has to their child: to educate them, to get them engaged to be married and to teach them to swim. And why swimming? Because it teaches the parent to let go and allow the child to be on their own... And this experience, in as much as it is the best educational experience for our children, is also an experience for us. Thanks again.”
-Uri and Mala
“We are pleased with the program and efforts of the school and staff. The communications from the school have been informative and impressive. Aliza is surpassing many of her own expectations and is doing well. We are pleased with her accomplishments and growth. The program is both an opportunity and a challenge.”
-Michael
“I am so impressed with [the school]! Not only did they completely arrange for my son’s transport, but they gave him printed emergency numbers, printed directions, printed return information andcalled [his host] to just make sure he was taken care of. WOW! Major Hakaros Hatov!”
-Donna
“Atara sounded great when we spoke to her. Seems like a very special group of girls going to Neve Sara Herzog. It is still a bit hard to believe this 2 year old dream of Atara's is now a reality.”
-Lisa
“I am very happy with the staff at Neve Sarah and am confident that Yonit will have a wonderful year.”
-Roz
“I wanted to thank you once again for everything you've been doing for Shane! You were there when we needed you and you were always responsive…We've been hearing [that he had] a good start and is very happy there. Of course, he is a teenager and we have already learned from our kids that when a teenager is complaining a bit, that means that everything is close to perfect …[we know] that the program and the staff are just a wonderful fit for what he needs.”
-Shaike
“Ari is doing well and enjoying himself. At one point he exclaimed that he hadn't watched TV for 3 weeks and didn’t even miss it. Instead he was focusing on making friends and school. Thanks for your help with the whole process.”
-Sharon
“I am so happy that Tova is in the program. She shares wonderful stories with me of fun experiences, beautiful moments of connection with new people, and the joy of being in the Land. There are also many challenging situations, but she is growing so much from the joys and the difficulties.”
-Sara
“I visited Chasya a number of times in Bet Rivka and she is absolutely ecstatic!! She has already made a number of friends - Americans and local Israelis. She is very happy at the Na’ale program in Kfar Chabad, and I would definitely recommend it to any new student contemplating studying in Israel.”
