Ruth,

The order arrived in today’s mail! Sally is thrilled with the Bethlehem Cross – we had looked for one several times, but never found the one we wanted. It was a surprise for her as was the mezuzah.
Thanks for all of your help.

Hi,
 
Thank you for your generous solution to the problem.  I didn't get your phone message until yesterday.  As I was travelling without computer for a week, I was unable to check online until today.  I will enjoy the shirts definitely and spread the word about how good you are to customers. 
 
God bless,

Hi Ruth,
Compliments of the day. Sorry for not replying your mail earl;y enough. It was because I had to travel straight to the village on return from Israel to see my old granny, who's been longing to see me. I'm fully back to Nigeria and have resumed work since on Tuesday, 24 August. It was my second time visiting Israel and Yardenit in particular, but my experiences were all awesome. I in particular thank God for using people like you to reach out to Christians in diaspora. I can only pray for God Almighty to grant you all long life and your life desires. Most of the products I bought from Yardenit are being held in high value. Sincer regards to other staff and praying that you remain blessed.

Hello Ruth:



Thank you for your note; and yes, your package arrive Friday, Nov 19 – beautifully and safely packed. I’ve already enjoyed morning tea in the mug, and the plate is just beautiful – I plan to use it for serving something on our Thanksgiving table this week.



Meeting and talking with you at the shop was a wonderful experience for me – a person-to-person connection that brightened my day and enriched my experiences in Israel. Your presence is warm, helpful and comforting and professional.

Best wishes to you and your loved ones for this coming holiday season.

Warm Regards,

Dear Ruth, I did receive the bag today- Nov. 4th. I had purchased one when we were in your store at Yardenit when we visited in October. I was happy to find that I was able to also get one for my sister. We both love our wonderful homeland of Israel. We look forward to coming back again soon.To all our people there stay safe and well. Thank you. Jewel Weinstein

Dear Ruth

It was so wonderful meeting you .... you are a blessing. Everyone loved the gifts we brought back and we told them all about you and how gracious you were. You made our shopping experience a pleasure! My husband loved the honey you gave us. My Grandchildren wear their necklaces with pride and my son in love and hubby love and have been wearing their shirts with pride also. My daughter uses the alphabet for her home schooling class for the children. Our friends love the gifts we brought them.
We had a wonderful trip. We next went to Egypt and Greece and then Italy. Every place was amazing... but my heart belongs to Israel. Two days are not enough in Israel. We must return someday. When we do we will visit you again.
Thank you again Ruth, you are a beautiful lady in side and out.
The Lord bless you and your family and your country.

Love, Faith

Thank you very much for the card, I received my order today of the anointing oil, t shirt and the amethyst Star of David. Everything is wonderful, as I knew it would be :-)

When I was at Yardenit in May, one could purchase the blue re-usable bags for $2 US at the checkout. If I were placing another order some time in the near future, would I be able to purchase some of those too?

Best,

Dear Ruth
 
Knowing that you ship to Canada is exceptional news!   
 
I was at the Yardenit Baptismal Site on the Jordan River a few weeks ago.  Being on
a guided tour I didn't get a chance to look around for as long as I would have liked to.
 
As an Evangelical Christian, visiting Yardenit was a very moving and beautiful experience.
I have already been baptized, but it is my plan to come back and be baptized there.
 
Israel is not like any place I've ever been in my life, and I've fallen in love with your country. 
I have book-marked your website and will check it frequently for updates for those things I wish to purchase and will send an email with my order.
 
Thank you again for your prompt reply,
 
Best
Heather Clark

Ruth,
 
What a blessing it was for Tyler and I to meet you! I know he will never forget his time there at Yardenit and meeting you. He has the package you gave us in his room. My suitcase hasn't arrived yet, as it didn't make it on the airplane, but know we will enjoy the date syrup you gave us and will share with the rest of my family. Thank you so very much. Everytime I go to Israel I fall more in love with the people! It is easy to see why God loves you so very much!! You are so easy to love!!  I would love to stay in touch with you and will get Tyler to email you when he returns to school and share his experience of being there with you. May many blessings be abundantly poured out to you my new friend.

Much love,
Marsha

Dear Ruth,
Happy to read you and thank you very much for the photos, i really appreciated the photos and my journey to yardenit and Israel, i was very pleased by the way you receive me in your country. My journey in Israel is unforgetable till the end of my live.
Also, big pleasure for me to have meet you.
God bless you and your family. My first view in Israel is that the people is very friendly. Many foods and you have a spirit of sharing.What marked me the most is my meeting and Jesus and Mary.And the fact of touching the water where Jesus had been baptisted. My return in Congo was very fine, i'm stilling living those blessing till now and i kept the joy in my heart.
Pretty soon i give you some news of my fondation so that we can discuss about it.

Best we gold.
Your Father Jean-Marie

Hello Ruth.
 
Thank you for the update.  I have never been to Israel.  This will be a gift for my minister who is marrying me on March 6, 2010.  She has been to Israel and purchased Yardenit holy water last time she was there.  She is running low on it, so I thought you would enjoy this as a gift.
 
Again, thank you for the update and I can't wait to receive the package.
 
Blessings,
 
Laura

Hello Ruth. Greetings from Botswana. Thank you very much for the pictures. I am going to download and frame them. They are lovely. We felt really blessed to have met you and had a chart with you. Not many people know about Botswana so we were overjoyed to meet someone who does and in the Holy Land for that matter.
This was our second visit to the Jordan. We were there last week on 23rd Sept and we got baptized on the Jordan. It was awesome to walk around the same places that our Lord walk on. We are really blessed to have gotten the opportunity to go to Israel. We continue to pray for the peace of Israel as our Lord has commanded. Be richly blessed.

Dear sister Ruth,
Thank you for your message and for your very refreshing welcome yesterday. We are still in Tiberias and we shall respond to your questionnaire, God willing, on our return to the UK.
God bless you in Jesus Name.

Hi Ruth,
What a pleasure meeting you!!  Thank you for your kind words and sweet spirit of hospitality. 
Yardenit is a very special place.  It gives Christians the oportunity to follow in their Lord's footsteps in baptism.  I've seen how touching that is in people's lives. Curt was baptized there in 2004, along with many others on our tour, it was a blessing. 
As to Israel, What a privledge to see God's people returning to their land and making the desert bloom as was prophesied so many years ago. It's really is an amazing miracle, and you are a part of it! One thing is obvious to me as I traveled through Israel, it amazes me to see how far Israel has come in so short a time (technology, agriculture, art, and fashion to name a few)  God is surely with his people and is blessing them!!
Well we just got back yesterday and are still a bit jet laged. It was an amazing trip.

May God truely bless you,
Alicia and Curt Slatton

Thank you again.  Have a wonderful day.

It was nice meeting you on our visit to Yardenit.  We were impressed with Yardenit as everything was so clean.   The bathrooms were clean.  There was no trash around your grounds.  The employees were friendly.  The area was very pretty with banana trees, date palms, and papaya growing.  We liked sampling the date honey and other products as we knew what we were buying.  Sampling of the date honey sold us on buying the product.

 

We were very impressed with Israel.  This was our first visit.  On our bus trip from the Ashdod harbor, we observed modern highways, traffic signals and the area was very clean.  A very favorable impression from what we had seen in Egypt. 

 

The one suggestion we have is to have something like paper towel to use after dipping our feet in the Jordan River.  Some did not do it as they did not want wet socks in their shoes.  I used KIeenex I had to wipe some of the water off my feet.

 

Sincerely,

Hi Ruth,
 
We got back from our incredible journey through Israel yesterday.  I am still in shock at the spontaneous and God directed decision of my son to be baptised.  My niece is easy, but my son, Josh, is one of the tough guys.  You were God's instrument when you heard the kids talking and then offered assistance.  What a blessing to witness that I did not expect to see in this life.
 
Thank you for listening.
 
Regards,
Rita Doubek - Mom
Josh Doubek - Son
