Dear Eve,
It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday and listen to your explanations.
Thank you for open a window to a new world for some of us. The experience of yesterday will stay with us for long time. Today we have a reflection session and I will be able to know more about what the students feel about it.
I know the students were very impressed by you and found your way of הדרכה very interesting.
Thank you and we will be in touch.
Have a great day!

Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Harrow:
We are writing to express our thanks to you for your thoughtful presentation to the participants of the Brandeis University Summer Institute for Israel Studies. Our visit to Efrat and your insightful and stimulating comments made an enormous impression. Many in the group referred to your comments in sessions that were conducted later in the study tour. We are especially pleased that the faculty were made aware of your work and will incorporate what they learned in the courses they design about Israeli society.

The Brandeis University Summer Institute for Israel Studies was inaugurated in 2004 to redress the lack of knowledgeable and balanced teaching about Israel. The goal of the Institute is to foster Israel Studies in universities and colleges by providing faculty with serious academic understanding of Israel as a civilization, as part of the larger history of the Jewish people, and as a part of the landscape of Middle East. Your contribution to our effort is much appreciated.

We close with many thanks and sincere appreciation, also on behalf of our colleagues at the American Jewish Committee and its Middle East Office in Jerusalem.

To whom it may concern:

I have known Eve Harow for a good many years in both a personal and employer/employee relationship. For the last several years, Eve has been a member of the professional staff of the One Israel Fund of which I currently hold the lay leadership position of chairman.

Eve was hired by the One Israel Fund specifically because of her demonstrated ability to convey, in a very effective and convincing manner, the wide range of issues that face the residents of Judea, Samaria (and formerly, Gaza).  She had the unique ability to connect with a variety of audiences, and in eliciting responses from those audiences. As not only a resident, but a mother raising many children in this environment, the legitimacy with which she addresses audiences is given the greatest of credence, and the manner of her delivery adds an emotional aspect that is both compelling and heartwarming.

I would recommend Eve to serve in any capacity involving the dissemination of ideas and positions that involve support for, and the strengthening of, the State of Israel, confident that audiences will be left with better understanding and increased compassion.

If any additional information is required, the recipient of this particular correspondence should feel free to contact the undersigned personally, who would be more than willing to have a discussion at further length.

Yours truly,

STEVEN S. ORLOW

Dear Eve,

I wanted to express my sincere thanks to you for giving a class at our Synaplex Shabbat. It is so important for our members to hear from an American Israeli perspective about what's happening in Israel. You have a very unique and balanced perspective that takes into consideration the very delicate threads of the Israeli society. I heard only good things from the people that went to your class and I hope that you enjoyed teaching the class.

I look forward to working with you more closely again in the future.

Sincerely,

Shai Finkelstein

Shalom Eve, 

Thank you again for speaking with the Otzma group, and taking off some of your precious Chanuka vacation time.

We had very positive feedback from your presentation.

People especially appreciated your very apparent passion and the personal anecdotes that made the issues very up close, personal and real.
