Letter of appreciation from a Chinese student who holds a very high position in the medical conference world in the UK
"I just wanted to let you know how much Jill and I enjoyed your class on Tuesday.
We were very impressed and inspired by how you managed to make learning the Alefbet so easy to understand, and so unintimidating.
We both hope to be in your class again sometime in the near future.
Thanks again."
A few more appreciation letters that we have recently received:
1) "You are an inspiration to us all and I use this as an opportunity to convey my thanks to you both rather than telling those who are not conversant with the wonderful work you have carried out at Enford Street. For me, personally, I shall be able to attend many more of Spiro Ark's interesting lectures. Taking the opportunity to wish you and your family a happy Pesach.
Joan"

7) "So sorry to read the latest newsletter announcing the closure of the Spiro Centre. I had great time running my workshops there and performing for Spiro and I always will remember it with great affection. Thank you for giving you the opportunity.
Although no able to contribute financially I would be happy to give my time and musical assets to any event you put on in the future whether cultural or fund raising for the Spiro!
Meanwhile I wish you and Robin and the extended family a happy Pesach and look forward to our inspiring chat some time in the future.
Chag Sameach
Much love
Idit & family."
8) "... Reading what you've said about your situation has been horrible. You don't deserve this wrench. But of course we're in the middle of the worst recession in history. And the longest. [...] You're a force of nature. Don't stop. Fondest love

9) "Dear Nitza and all your team,
Words won't be enough to thank you, your team, the teachers and the synagogues' staff for the wonderful classes and life lessons I got from you all. I've always wanted to learn Hebrew but never had the opportunity in Mexico or France. Fortunately, all Hebrew enthusiasts have the chance to study in such a welcoming, wholehearted environment, which you created for us--even when there were people like me without Jewish background.
Thanks a lot Nitza.
I wish these schools would be available world-wide with the same spirit.
my best wishes,
Alethia"
10) "Dear Nitza
You and Robin have given your lives for education, and Enford Street was a large part of that. I can understand how desolate you feel over being forced to move on. Please take comfort that all the presentations and educational activities at Enford Street have educated people, widen their awareness, and changed them for ever. And of course, your work continues, and so continues to change lives for the better

Thank you so much for your wonderful teaching and the good company!

13) "Dear Nitza and Robin,
I was really sad to hear that you had to relinquish the Spiro Ark. I know that you both contributed so much over so many years and that will always be valued by so many people.
I send many good wishes to you both,
