Jewish Journal July 13, 2006

He didn\’t know it at the time, but when Doron Gazit discovered twisty balloons while working as a camp counselor at a Jewish summer camp in Texas, it was the start of something big. The twisties served as the Israeli\’s inspiration for creating artwork out of large colorful air tubes made from a stronger plastic and supporting them with heavy duty high pressure blowers. Today, he produces tunnels, canopies and decorations galore using the tubes and highlights, air sculptures that inflate to specific shapes.\n\n

Norma Zager January 19, 2006

After schlepping 40 years in the desert, it\’s hard to imagine a CD to exercise by coming from a people who have harbored a subconscious distrust of walking. But with my daughter\’s upcoming nuptials, my unending kvetch about fitting into the dress won out over my skepticism.
