Fernando Alfredo Lema (Argentine) Dear Oryah Thank you very much for all the care we received from you, from Gilad Reuven and the Israeli Federation.

How were the sweets Gonzalo Rubio (Chile) Having been able to participate in the Bridge Festival in Tel Aviv, it has been one of my best experiences in bridge tournaments all over the world, firstly for the kindness of all the players, tournament directors and members of the organization, second for the impressive It is the city of Tel Aviv and lastly by the perfect and adequate organization of the pairs and teams tournaments, with a high average in the level of the participating players. I hope to be able to return next year with a Chilean team, and I just want to thank all the participants, who made this tournament fantastic, and especially Oryah, Gilad and Reuven, for whom I only have a big thank you for all. I hope to see us next year. Peter Belcak (Slovakia) I’d like to thank you for the invitation, it was a wonderful experience for all our players, the organization was terrific. There must have been a lot of back-office and managerial work hidden from the participants because what was visible was perfect.
