Thank You For Helping Us Understand Israel.
” We would like to thank you for your time and effort to educate us about Israel. We appreciated your passion, your knowledge, your humor and your care about us with your endless supply of water and the comfort of your mighty Jeep. We really missed you after you had left and we stayed on our own. We are fortunate to have had you as our guide. It was very important for us and especially for our girls to hear your personal story and how it related to the history of our people and Israel. We hope to see you again when we travel to Israel. Best regards from Nancy and the girls.”

"You Really Brought Israel And Our History To Life"
I hope that I can convey to you what a special first experience (for most of us) to Israel you gave us. While sitting in the lobby of the Hotel we spent a good bit of time expressing our favorite moments, favorite meals and favorite “Moti” moments. You really brought Israel and our history to life. Even on our van ride home from the airport we were all testing each other of what you taught us. I think it is fair to say that we now have a better understanding of what it means to be Jewish and Israeli (our home away from home). I think that I can speak for everyone when I say that we now have a friend in Israel, named Moti Barness. You have a special place in our hearts.
