Testimonials
“I just had to tell you what a wonderful treat it was being with you and what a great Pessach we had! Many, many thanks for everything…you sure ran an amazing operation and I have only the utmost praise and admiration for the way you organized and handled everything. Really, thank you… lots of people are singing your praises.”
Pam J. Shatzkes, London & Jerusalem
“We have been to other programs and by FAR the Lapians surpass all others. The programming was on a high level, varied, in good taste, and had something for everyone. The yachas was incredible, down to the thought that went into choosing our table companions. And the entertainment? How shall I put it: "ein li milim!" But the most important indicator, my husband, who doesn't like ANYTHING, was full of praise for the Lapians and plans to return to them whenever possible.”
Dina Perlman, Jerusalem
"My family and I have spent wonderful Pesachs with Zvi and Esther since they started with their groups in Beersheva many years ago. They are marvelous hosts and go out of their way to make your stay special. The food is good, the company friendly and they have become firm friends - what more can one say!"
Selma Shrank, London
“We had this idea to get the whole family together and spend Pesach in the staggering beauty of the Dead Sea. One decision which changed the lives of all forty of us. We rediscovered ourselves, re-acquainted ourselves with cousins, uncles and aunts, enjoyed the fun of each other's children, and all this under the tender loving supervision of everyone's favourite family - Zvi and Esther Lapian.”
Rabbi Michael Pollak, London
Susan and I, together with our 5 kids, have spent, I believe, 5 Pesahim with you and Esther, starting in Beer Sheva and following you to Yam Hamelach. We have enjoyed each and every time. I thank you for the unsurpassed effort that you exert to make each and every one of your guests feel special and important to you. You consistently strive for and achieve excellence in the organization of the religious experience, including a balabatish davening, and interesting and sincere Rabbinical participants. You invest in quality and enjoyable entertainment programs. The food is plentiful and generous. Most importantly, the nature of the guests you attract cover the spectrum of the Orthodox communities in Israel and US/England etc., yet you insist on and achieve a comfortable live-and-let-live environment so that all feel at home and comfortable. These Pesahim have added an enormous amount to our family over the years and we just felt it was appropriate to pause and say kol hakavod and thanks.

"Once again, congratulations on an amazing Pessach program! The highlights were the outstanding food, top quality entertainment (especially the kids programming)... We will highly recommend your program to our friends."

“We choose to go away three times with Zvi because his tours offer a wide range of very well chosen, interesting and often challenging destinations that engage, excite and educate. Combined with an array of first class hotels, a high standard of kosher catering and a friendly, inclusive modern orthodox atmosphere, Zvi’s personal touch ensures a trouble-free and hugely enjoyable vacation. We can’t recommend Zvi’s tours highly enough.”
Dr. Robert Ginsburg and Dr. Dina Kaufman
Our South America trip with Zvi Lapian was spectacular. Your attention to detail showed from beginning to end. The accommodations were wonderful especially in Quito and Lima. The arrangements that you made with the hotels to make our Shabbat enjoyable were not ignored. The guides were all knowledgeable pleasant and punctual and were eager for us to enjoy every experience without our feeling that they were on a time clock.

Elaine and I want to thank you for a totally memorable journey. Every day brought new wonders, every member of the group contributed to the great atmosphere, and you managed a feat of organisation that we can only imagine. We loved every moment of it and it was a trip we will never forget. Thank you so much for including us.
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks
The adventure we were on with you, from beginning to end, was truly exceptional, weaving together many different elements that each in their own way contributed to an extraordinary time. All of the locations were filled with discovery and excitement. All of the lodging was first class and comfortable. All of the meals were quite fulfilling. Having Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks was a rare and unforgettable opportunity. Framing it all was your attention to detail and dedication to making everybody comfortable. The people who participated in the group enhanced the whole experience with their camaraderie, warmth and bonding. Thank you for providing such a deeply memorable and fulfilling lifetime opportunity to us and all.
