Rabbi Marc (2011)
How inspiring it was to peruse faces softened, spirits rejuvenated and friendships strengthened. Thank you all for Spa Day. You helped make it a day of body and soul renewal. God Bless You. Your Grateful Rabbi Marc.President Anne Goldberg (2011)
Volunteer & AttendeeJenae, Dottie & Robert, I just had to write to tell you what a spectacular job you did. Yes, I know it took a village, but your willingness to put yourselves out in such a way set the tone for everyone else.
Attention to detail was, of course, superb. The ambience, the flow of the day, the practitioners' willingness to serve our group were all so "in the flow." You all get our TAO shout out for how you transformed Casa Zveibil to Spa Zveibil/TAO! All my love, Annie.
Pam Kelner (2011)
Attendee & VolunteerI can't thank you all enough for allowing me the privilege of working alongside each and every one of you. You all are an example of how a "community" bonds together to make incredible things happen.
Karen Rosenfeld (2011)
Volunteer & AttendeeWhat a fantastic event! No wonder it is still going strong at three years. I had a terrific day as a volunteer and as the joyful recipient of an incredible Reiki session with Robert. It was an awesome event, and I loved it. I wasn't even tired when I got home that evening after working since 9:00 in the morning.
Sue Reisman (2011)
Attendee & VolunteerI had a wonderful time helping and participating, but best of all, I was able to spend it with my TAO family.
Jenae Lehman (2011)
Massage TherapistIt was my pleasure to participate in TAO's Spa Day. I enjoyed the love and spirituality that permeated the entire day. You all touched my heart by simply being yourselves. I look forward to joining you for the next one.
Irene Yovu (2010)
AttendeeThank you for another amazing Spa Day. I did not think you could surpass a Spa Day at the Beach, but you certainly did.
Your attention to detail and all the wonderful activities and services was amazing. I actually felt like I had gone away to a Spa for a weekend, even thought it was just a day.
The feeling I am taking away from the experience is one of calm, relaxation, joy and freshness. TAO really knows how to put on an platinum event.
And I loved the calming green shirts that everyone wore with the amazing specialized monogramming on each shirt. Thanks for all the hard work and love that went into this event.
I loved it, and I'll be back to the next one.
Carol Himmel (2010)
AttendeeWe really enjoyed the day.
Andrea Pinsky (2010)
Attendee & Pilates InstructorI had a great time. It was really well done.
Steven Weisberg (2010)
AttendeeTerrific event. Let's do it again.
Abbe Gleicher (2010)
AttendeeIt was really a great day! I learned some new things and left feeling rejuvenated. I enjoyed the classes, and the massage was divine. I look forward to the next one. Thanks to everyone who contributed to making the day so comfortable and pleasant.
P.S. the veggie burgers were delicious. I'd like to know what brand / flavor they were.
NOTE: They were the best veggie burgers in the world! If you're looking for them, Publix and Whole Foods carries the brand: Dr. Praegers, California Veggie Burgers.
Anne Goldberg (2010)
TAO PresidentJenae, Dottie and Rochelle... You rock! Today the Zveibil home was transformed into a full-fledged, Four Star Spa. From the moment guests entered, it was magical and perfectly executed. Here's the only thing... it was so perfect and so well received by everyone who attended that you (and the fabulous Dream Team you had assisting you) are now obligated to repeat the magic again next year!
On behalf of the Rabbis and the Board of Directors, thank you for delivering such an outstanding and successful fund-raiser.
Much love to all of you,
Mitchell Schneider (2010)

NOTE: Thank you Tracey. We're thrilled you joined us.
Linda Sutt (2010)
Massage TherapistIt is amazing how organized and the smoothness the event was. Everyone seemed to be so relaxed and enjoying their experience. There just seemed to be a lot of thought. I enjoyed meeting the other participants and the food was awesome.

NOTE: Thank you Linda for sharing your skill and energy with us.

Hindy Zeifman (2010)
VolunteerKudos to you Jenae for a seamless day. Your attention to detail was fantastic, and it was a pleasure to be with so many incredible people.

Volunteers
Thank you for letting us be of service. We love you all. Great job!!.
Rabbi Shoni Wrote (2009)
AttendeeThank you for a most wonderful, relaxing, joyful spa day. Every detail was done with such love and care: the welcome food choices and display; the appointment schedules, rooms, and staff; the carefully chosen music; the total environment including on the faces of the committee women.
Your efforts were apparent in the glow on everyone's aura at the end of the day.
With love from
Anne Goldberg (2009)
Attendee
What a glorious day Spa Day was! Our committee did an amazing job of transforming Ken's house to a place of peace and health.
I know my mind and body are cleaner and clearer for the experience.
Every aspect, from the welcoming music as we walked in the front door, to the beautiful presentation of the excellent food, to the practitioners and really great gift bags... This event was flawless. It is a testimony to your gifts, and to your love and dedication to TAO. You really outdid yourselves. I can't wait for next year! Bravo!
Irene Yovu emailed (2009)
AttendeeThank you for putting together such a wonderful spa day. It certainly added lots of love and healing healthy energy to my life.
I absolutely loved the day from the minute I entered, to the great healthy lunch, to the absolutely fantastic location, to the wonderful treatments, and of course to Dotty's Stress Melter.
I loved it all I am looking forward to signing up for the next one. Let me know when!

Spa Day 2011
Chairperson: Jenae RubinCo-Chairperson: Dottie Zveibil
Once again hosted at the magnificent home of Dottie & Robert Zveibil, Spa Day 2011 was amazing. The weather cooperated...
for May, we had breezes, sun and no humidity. In addition to your superb home and hospitality, thank you so much for ordering such sublime weather!
We all know it takes a village, and this year, our Spa Day village was larger and more productive than ever... and boy was it great! Everyone was talking
about how sweet and well-run the event was. We can't thank anyone enough, but we're going to try right now!
Behind-the-Scenes Committee
Rochelle Tischler, Pamela Kelner, Sue Reisman, Nancy Mendelson,
Peter Fox, Karen Rosenfeld and Renee Greene met with us on different occasions.
Rochelle even cancelled a yoga class to be available to participate as it was really hard to find a day and time that worked for everyone.
From new ideas to finding therapists and instructors to running around town getting great items for our raffle and silent auction, you were integral to
making this event fun and profitable.
Check In
Anne Goldberg and Renee greeted attendees with hugs and smiles. At this year's best-run Spa Day, they made sure
everything started smoothly for attendees and practitioners. They also helped manage the schedule moving people around and fitting people in for last
minute Service purchases helping everyone create the beautiful day they wanted for themselves.
Stress-Melters
Dottie led two Stress-Melter sessions (lovingly called "the
Melter" by some attendees, ok, it was Steve Weisberg who called it that!). The first session was for Practitioners to help them relax into this beautiful
day, and the second was for Attendees as a sweet way to start the day. It has become, as we say in Anatevka, our 10:00 a.m. Tradition!
Silent Auction and Raffle items generously donated by:
- Restaurants (Anthony's Runway 84, Villagio, Vienna Cafe & Wine Bar)

- Jewelry (Simple Yet Elegant Accessories on Las Olas, strands of pearls from an anonymous donor, miscellaneous jewelry from another anonymous donor, and assorted necklaces and earrings from a friend of Pam.
Karen outdid herself (again) selling raffle tickets.Thanks! You always do such a great job. "How many raffle tickets do you
want?!!!"
Setting Up the Night Before
... Was zippy due to the great help. In addition to most of the "Behind-the-Scenes" committee members, including Marcia Peschitz who helped stuff goody bags (some piles were taller than Sue... thanks to Irene!) and prepare the kitchen. Keith Kander moved a lot of furniture and Charles Tischler lugged hundreds of pounds of boxes for the goody bags.
Gourmet Spa Lunch Buffet
We're Jewish, so food is key! Nancy did a great job shopping and selecting delicious food that enticed people to graze all
afternoon... guilt free! Irene provided most of the hot food (what a mitzvah). And Renee donated the wine for our
Wine & Cheese Chill which turned into game watching.
Rochelle's Kitchen Crew (Joyce Finn,
Marcia Peschitz, Karen, Nancy and Charles Tischler) worked their tushies off
to make the event delicious, fresh and flowing. Dottie jokes that they know their way around her kitchen better than she! If you can't function
without caffeine in the morning, you have Joyce to thank for your tea or coffee fix! Charles perfectly prepared all the yummy
cooked food too.
Really Great Goody Bags!
Single handedly,
Irene got several hundred pounds of items donated for goody bags worth more than the price of some admission packages.

Professional Professionals
This year's team of supreme practitioners pampered willing attendees. Peter Fox joined us for the third consecutive year, and everyone who received a massage from him came out of his room with half closed eyes! It is just days after the event, and I already know of "clients" who contacted therapists for repeat performances. Beneficiaries received treatments from:
- Peter Fox, Peter Fox Healing Hands
- Cynthia Bury, also of Mobile Corporate Massage
- Jenae Lehman
- Victoria Volturo, Allure Day Spa
- Facialist Yolanda Figueiredo, Allure Day Spa
- Reiki Master Robert Zveibil
- Reiki Master Aimee Davila, The Serene Touch
About half of the attendees participated in physical health activities from:
- Personal Trainer Craig Marks of T-3 Fitness - Ethelind has a one-on-one session with Craig. She was overheard saying, "I don't sweat." What do you say now, Ethelind!
- Zumba teacher Soledad Berazza had motivated students dancing up a storm (Zumba is salsa aerobics, for those of you wondering).
- Water Aerobics instructor Carole Rushing (who returned for the second time) had an active group of men and women sweating (is that possible) in the pool!
- TAO's own Andrea Pinsky, who led a Pilates class, started off the fitness aspect of Spa Day.
Every practitioner received praise after praise for their skill and service. For more about the practitioners, read their bios in the right column down a
little further. Or click on the "Spa Day Practitioners" link in "In this Issue."
Rabbi Marc, who lived in an ashram for a few years
prior to his Rabbinical calling, led a Renewal Yoga class and meditation that was the perfect end to the perfect
day.
Thanks Abound
We received countless thanks during the day and several emails after
the event for how beautiful, well run and sweet the day was. As I told the people who shared their compliments, it is because of our volunteers and donors that
this day was as beautiful as it was. Thank you so very, very much.
It was our pleasure to chair this committee, work with
The-Best-Spa-Day-Committee-in-the-World, and give all attendees a beautiful day of peace and joy.
With Love,
Dottie Zveibil and Jenae Rubin
Spa Day 2010
Chairperson: Jenae RubinCo-Chairpeople: Dottie Zveibil, Rochelle Horowitz
Magical is the word that comes to mind to describe Spa Day 2010. The Spa Day Dream Team volunteers (yours truly, Dottie & Robert Zveibil, Rochelle & Richard Horowitz, Anne Goldberg, Hindy Zeifman, Charles & Rochelle Tischler, and Marcia Peschitz) devoted more than 250 hours to bring this amazing experience to you, and we succeeded!
About 40 people attended Spa Day, double last year's attendance! Half the attendees were men (great idea, Rabbi Marc to open this event to all), and their energy enhanced the day. After all, why keep the sweet relaxation from anyone who wants it! At the end of the day, everyone wore bliss and rejeuvenation on their faces. We succeeded!
Our practitioners were so excellent (they really are the best in their class) that many people signed up for more sessions throughout the day... and that was no easy task, because our schedule was filled! So many, many thanks to our practitioners who offered even more services to fill everyone's desires. We certainly did have a Dream Team.
In the left column are written comments we received after the event, so glance at them, and plan to attend next year's. This was truly a delicious day. The schedule is below the pictures, if you want to see what we did, and the practitioners' names and contact information is in the left column as well. Please continue to support them. You'll be glad you did, as they are truly excellent at what they do.
In addition to the sweet, physical delights, the Rabbi evoked our spirituality topping off an already perfect day. Thank you for being part of our village to manifest this joyful occasion.
Thank you Dottie and Robert Zveibil for opening your home, your sanctuary, to us. Rochelle Horowitz, Dottie and I worked for months organizing and tweaking it to make this day an even more perfect event than last year's. Richard Horowitz and Robert Zveibil helped organize the house the night before. Hindy Zeifman and Anne Goldberg filled the great responsibility of checking in attendees, volunteers, practitioners and instructors, then checking everyone out and overseeing the silent auction. Marcia Peschitz, Charles and Rochelle Tishler made sure the kitchen was always stocked so no one longed for anything.
Our phone committee (Lowell Gannon, Richard Grove, Bob Heaton, Jonathan Rosen and Tova Weinstock) helped assure our attendance to make this day the success it was. Irene Yovu, always a big supporter, donated an awesome gift basket worth more than $300 for our raffle as well as countless items for our Goody Bags. Other Goody bag donors included Nancy Mendelson, American Apothecary and Evan's Essentials bath salts.
A Silent auction featured jewelry donated by Caren Vivado, Anne Goldberg, Dottie Zveibil, Jenae; gift baskets donated by Jacci Nieves and Marti Sinnreich (another fabulous $300 gift basket); a painting by Rabbi Shoni and one by Jenae; handmade waterfall by Hindy Zeifman. Thank you so much.
Six massage therapists (Peter Fox, Andrew Guzik, Mitchell Schneider, Tracey Silber, Bob Singer and Linda Sutt), two reiki masters (Aimee Davila and Robert Zveibil), Aromatherapists Nelly Munoz-Perez and Helena Nath, and Facialist and Mary Kay specialist Mary Anne Connor donated a full day of love, talent and physical delight to the enjoyment and benefit of approximately 40 attendees.
Attendee and pilates instructor Andrea Pinsky, QiGong Master Lisa Lumiere, Feng Shui Master Hindy Zeifman, Yogi Steve Sperber, and our own Rabbi Marc offered classes throughout the day. Spa Day attendees never had a lack of relaxing, stimulating or energizing activities thanks to these people.
Carol Himmel expressed everyone's feelings when she said, "Sign me up for next month's Spa Day!" Well, that will have to wait for next year! Everyone had such a fantastic time, and it is because of your efforts. Thank you again... so very, very much.
Until next year, I send you prayers for peace, love, harmony & joy,
Jenae
Spa Day 2009
Chairperson: Jenae RubinCo-Chairpeople: Dottie Zveibil, Rochelle Horowitz
Beautiful Weather, Beautiful People, Beautiful Day
Spa Day 2009 could not have been more perfect. The bright blue day, the palm tree shaded grass just enhanced what would have been a spectacular day anyway. Upon entering Ken Fisher's magnificent oceanfront home, you were greeted with sweet music, candle light and the promise of more gifts upon departure.
The classes
The day began with a Stress-Melter led by Dottie Zveibil. Attendees spent time got to know each other and dance their way into a beautiful beginning. No matter how harried anyone was when they arrived, those feelings were replaced by calm and delight which carried forward every minute until the end of this glorious day.
Spa Day attendees enjoyed a water aerobics class by Carol Rushing, a certified instructor who you can find at The Red Door; Standing Qigong and Qigong in motion class led by Donna Levine; and Renewal Yoga and meditation classes led by our own Rabbi Marc.

Thanks to...
Thank you Rochelle Horowitz and Dottie Zveibil for co-chairing this big event. It was possible because of your tremendous effort. Ken Fisher not only donated his beautiful home. He parked cars, moved furniture, burned CDs to his iPod so we could have our music piped into every room and the outdoors.
Annie Goldberg, Renee Greene, Sandy King, Bob Heaton, Myrna Wolf, Donna Levine and Marcia Peschitz helped clean, set up, make phone calls, find practitioners, and plan.
Thank you all so much for your time and your hearts. We love you and appreciate your help in creating this absolutely magnificent event. At the end of the day, everyone agreed this was as good as the best spas.
