"Sarah's energy and love for Judaism were contagious. She took interest in our lives, as traditional Jews, and taught us about her life as an Orthodox Jew. She came prepared each week, and animated. Her energy continued to be contagious, and each time I left the JEC after learning with her, I felt as if we had just learned in the Old City of Jerusalem. Sarah was the light into my learning. She opened me up and exposed me to the basics of what I needed to know, the foundations of Judaism I did not learn as a child."
- Nicole Menschel, School Teacher
"Sarah - You teach me, listen to me, guide me - the impact you have had on me is endless. I really do not know where I would be without you - you have been there for me in some of my saddest moments and you have supported me in some of my happiest. Like Sarah Imeinu, your beauty/light radiates inside and out. It is an honor to have you in my life. Thank you for everything you do for me."

"Sarah Pachter is the most inspiring, spiritual and supportive mentor I have ever had. We started our brief conversations while at Neve Yerushalaym and my life has been more fulfilled because of her. Sarah has managed to introduce a Jewish way of thinking to my life and it is one I never had any exposure to. Sarah Pachter has made me a better daughter, sister, friend and overall a better Jew."

"I met Sarah years ago during a Birthright Alumni trip to Israel, Sarah was one of the leaders/educators and I was a participant. I found her classes fascinating and upon returning to NY began to learn with her on a weekly basis. Her knowledge is astounding and she always has a way of changing the way I look at an issue or problem. Sarah as since moved away, to LA, but our relationship has grown and I'm honored to say she's become one of my closest and most trusted friends and mentors and I'm truly a better person for knowing and learning from her."
