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. -

Beit Hatfutsot
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

Breeze Creative
After excellent translation work for a major exhibition that we are producing, we took the services of Elana Sztokman for work on our website as well. Under a tight deadline, we had translated and edited texts that were clear, and we were able to work with a professional who was always available for questions and follow-up.

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.Gal Lusky, Founder and CEO

Profound Investment House
As an Investment House that corresponds with many bodies around the globe, we have been assisted many times by the services of Dr. Sztokman. I must say that the quality of the writing, the editing of the text, and the diction were of the highest level and to our complete satisfaction.
I would like to add that in the process of writing the texts, it was necessary to use professional lingo from the investment world, including very specific terms, and it was necessary to learn the entire topic in depth and not just be satisfied with a simple translation. Dr. Sztokman dedicated time to learn the field and I have no doubt that a result of this, her writing and editorial work was of the highest standard that we could possibly anticipate.Shai Angel, Chief Investor
