Welcome Friends!

Welcome to Israel to the International 39th International Bridge Festival. This is
an exciting week for Bridge players in Israel who will get a chance to meet and play
against some of the world's best players. You who are visiting, are our honored 
guests. No doubt your hosts will provide some top scores as well! 
In addition, there is plenty of time for sightseeing and relaxing, so please don't 
hesitate to ask for any help we can give to make this week enjoyable.
I wish all visitors, a pleasant and successful festival and wonderful stay in Israel.

David Birman
Festival Chairman
