"His multi-media presentation projects the diversity, color, humor and passion of Israel's land and people. His presentation, which has sparked great dialogue, provides a primarily apolitical experience of Israel outside of what is printed in newspapers and broadcasted on television"
(Orli Gil, Consul for Academic Affairs in the USA, NY)
"Harel Stanton visited my community twice while I was a shlicha in Miami (2003-2007). Harel showed us why he is known for his wonderful visual-audio presentations, which brings to the audience his unique view of Israel.
Harel was very flexible in adjusting to the different ages, time frame and the level of the group. It was a pleasure to host Harel and to have him effectively present opportunities for learning, discussing and getting excited about Israel through his photos."
(Shirit Saks-Haim, Community Youth Shlicha, Miami, 2007)
"His photo's of Israeli landscapes, people and ceremonies were very stirring and ignited in the audience much awe and love of Israel and its people. Harel Stanton was an outstanding ambassador of goodwill for Israel. His show was uplifting and a wonderful antidote to those who concentrate primarily on the political, economical and social situation of present day Israel".
(Karen Gazith, Bronfman Jewish Education Centre Montrial Canada)
"We were delighted to have someone with your breadth of experience show us such a beautiful portrayal of Israel, especially in the light of the negative images which are being continually shown on the news."
(Jennifer Bear, Senior Student Life Coordinator, St. Louis Hillel, Washington University)
"Harel's obvious talent, in combination with his professionalism and presentation, helped make our Israel Family Night a true success".

"It is the Israel Awareness program's goal to provide the Young Leadership community with an enhanced understanding of what is occurring in Israel at this time and you helped us take a step towards achieving that important goal. Your captivating photo's allowed us to see the beauty, the energy, the pain, the hope and everything else that can be found in Israel. We are hoping that many of those who viewed your presentation will want to go and see Israel for themselves".
(Danielle Weinstein, Campaign Associate, Young Leadership Division, Chicago, IL)
"Your presentation was beautiful and brought a lot of aspects of the Israel that I am trying to bring to our communities. From my experience it will be a powerful educational tool to use in every community that deals with Israel."
(Cali Cohen, Community Shaliach, the Jewish Federation of Tulsa, Tulsa, Oklahoma )
"Dear Harel, Thank you so much for your photography workshop. Apart from enormously affecting and benefiting the themes of our programme, the skills and ways of looking that you taught us will remain with us long after the Seminar has ended. We look forward to working with you again.
(Dr. Helena Miller, Leo Baeck College, London, UK")
"In April 2004 Harel Stanton showed his presentation "1000 faces of Israel" to 2 groups of students in our school. The groups consist of 200 to 250 students, ranging from 13 to 18 years old. Harel gave an impressive presentation with beautiful pictures and music that fit the images perfectly. With the show and his personal presentation he shows a great capability of getting the students attention and keeping that attention throughout the entire show. His pictures and music were worth more then a thousand words."
(Charlotte Tabak, Teammanager at Baken Park Lyceum Almere,
The Netherlands)
