Mishael Zion calls The Men's Section "a vital contribution well beyond the scene of liberal Orthodoxy", in his review at The Forward. Read about it here.
The world of Jewish philanthropy is in the midst of a major transition. Struggling economies, rapidly changing economies, and young generations entering the fray with new expectations and realities all contribute to this evolution. The staff of Spirit Consulting have been working with a wide range of not-for-profit organizations in Israel, North America and Australia for 15 years and have watched as Jewish identity, peoplehood, and education have evolved, transforming the way organizations define the needs of the Jewish people. Read some of Elana’s insights into the world of Jewish philanthropy on the ejewishphilanthropy blog.

Our monthly newsletter is a critical tool for the museum in building our public image and communicating with our supporters. As the editor, Elana has developed the newsletter into a highly-regarded publication that regularly receives praise for its writing, design and content. Even more impressively, the newsletter she produces actively engages its readers as is evidenced by "open and click" rates, and has caused an increase in donations to the museum. I am often surprised in fact by how closely our recipients follow our updates and this is in no small part to the wonderful work that Elana does.
"Over the nearly six years that Elana has worked with Beit Hatfutsot her knowledge and skills in the area of marketing communications have helped produce our signature quality content. She is a talented writer. a consummate professional, and a pleasure to work with.
Avinoam Armoni, CEO
