I want to express my tremendous gratitude to the Machlis family for truly giving me the experience of a lifetime. I have read and heard about many stories about the Machlis’s, and their Hachnasat Orchim. Now that I am here in seminary, I knew I had to go. From the moment I entered their home, I was welcomed with smiles and words of such pure kindness, I didn’t feel like I deserved it. The walls truly expanded as a new table and 6 chairs were brought in and miraculously fit in the already packed dining room. I cannot describe how welcomed I felt, and it was truly a memorable Friday night meal. The singing, divrei Torah, and words of wisdom lead by Rabbi Machlis was so inspiring. I am so thankful to have had this incredible opportunity and may Hashem bless you with only good things, am yisrael chai!

Great hospitality and Jewish flavour that makes one feel like they are in the best place to be on Shabbos and to hear such wisdom from the many speakers invited to talk and wonderfull insights from Rabbi Machlis. Food is the best and such quanaties. May you have B'Hatzlacha to continue your work!

I am very grateful to Rabbi Machlis and his family for their generosity and kindness. The inspiring speeches of Rabbi Machlis - which he presented in both Hebrew and English to make everyone feel included - made the evening a special and memorable one.

Shalom!

I want to say thanks to the local Jewish community and Rabbi for inviting me and my wife to dinner. It was amazing to experience the friendliness and openness of the Jewish community. I was glad to learn more about the Jewish faith, learn about the tradition, and make new friends. This is a moment we will not forget.

My Last Day in Israel I accidentally found the rabbi teaching near the Western Wall. Delighted he invited me and about 20 of us to join him at his home for a Shabbat dinner. This was the most amazing experience of community and family Joy, a 12 course dinner with singing and ritual and prayers. Thank you for your generosity rabbi

Shalom Rabbi Machlis,
Thank you for your kindness and wonderful hospitality enjoyed during this Shabbat. Isaiah ch58 comes to mind: verses 6-14. G-d bless you and your family as you put these verses into practice. Thank you for touching so many lives in Jerusalem!

I am grateful to Rabbi Machlis and his guests for helping me to understand who I am as a Jew.

WOW The Machlis Family inspired me from reading the book. I hope one day b'eH .I will be zocheh to meet the Machlis Family.

May HKBH grant you going l'chayil u'l'chayil !

I wish that my husband and I could have met Rebbetzin Machlis; though, while reading the new book,, I really feel as though I have.
