We met two years ago, and since our paths have crossed, I do not have enough words to describe the service that you give our organization, which is exceptional in the spectrum of giving in Israel. And that is despite your busy and intense schedule. The support, the vision, the strategizing, and your knowledge and understanding of Jewish philanthropy and Israeli society have enabled us to build sharp and focused content, with a strong influence on our own audiences. Thank you for all the hours spent on writing, editing, and framing our important materials in a way that helps us grow and be the kind of strong organization that we want to be."

"When outsourcing work, I used to ask myself whether it would be easier to undertake the task myself. Outsourcing often compounds the problems, and in the past I often felt burdened by additional work.  When working with Elana I have full confidence. She is a professional, she is committed to quality, but most importantly takes responsibility for the work she is doing. She is a full partner. Her knowledge and expertise bring added value to any project she undertakes. It's a pleasure and relief to work with a person of such outstanding caliber."
