Testimonials
I wanted to thank you for the beautiful work you do. I am not Jewish, but my grandchildren are. I found your site and purchased Chai necklace for 11 year old granddaughter. I look forward to many more purchases. Thank you again.
-Cecile G.
Actually there isn't a question but gratitude. I can see you care a lot about your customers. That is very important to me.
I have had bad experiences buying on line.
The products were horrible...looked nothing like advertisement.... and also trying to get returns was crazy.
I haven't seen my purchase yet, but I know in my heart it's going to be wonderful!
Thank you both,
Many Blessings

I received the lovely Chai bendel bracelet in the mail on Saturday, less than 24 hours after I ordered it. The two of you and the level of service you provide never ceases to amaze me!!! Bravo!

Just received the silver beaded healing bracelet today and been it's beautiful! All of the pieces I have ordered from you are so lovely. You have a real talent and I'm excited to give the bracelet to my sister in a couple of weeks..
Hello! I received the new chain today and it feels 100 times stronger than the previous chain. In light of the recent tragedy in Pittsburgh and the rise of anti-Semitism in our country, I want to rock my Jewish pride more than ever. My grandparents fought Nazis in WWII, my parents rebelled against the government-sponsored anti-Semitism in their home country of Ukraine and were granted political asylum in 1992, and I will absolutely continue to demonstrate my faith to ensure that history does not dare repeat itself in a country my grandparents and parents now consider home! Once again, I'd like to thank you for your continuous dedication to excellent customer service. I hope your business flourishes as more and more young people are inspired by the need to protect their heritage from discrimination and become politically involved in doing so.
Best, *Stella Naulo*
"I love everything I bought from Alef Bet. Very nice design and great quality jewelry. I would definitely recommend Alef Bet to all my friends. Thanks a lot for very efficient communication."
- Irina
"I purchased the "Shema Bracelet with Beads" for myself and for friends. It is a great addition to any wrist already filled with bracelets! Don't let the small size fool you. When you slide on the bracelet, you can see that it's packed with SHINE, TREND and that special hint of Judaism you expect only from this designer. Customer service is terrific, fast and efficient."

"I have had a superb one-on-one purchasing experience with Alef Bet which has been informative, prompt, and generous by extending a discount for the purchase of several Hamsa necklaces. I wear mine always and get compliments all the time. It is beautiful with the delicate gold chain and paves diamonds. I have decided to give them as gifts as well and will be ordering in the future. Thanks for all your help!"
- J.M.
"I love all the things on your website and wear them with great pride (and amazing style!!) 😊"

"Just wanted to thank you so much for my beautiful Hamsa bracelet! I have been drooling over it for months (saw it on a Facebook post) and had been saving up to get it myself. I saw it with my cousin this summer and showed my mom. Did not expect her to get it for me, but was so surprised and HAPPY! I really love everything about it and am super excited to wear it! Everyday!"
"Thanks so much for your part in the surprise!"
"Now I'll be saving up for a long chain (I love the ones with the stones in it every few inches...) Your pieces are so beautiful and unique. I have always loved your things!"
"That was a great article about you and Alyssa and your business. Congrats!"
- K.C.
"I'm glad I met your brand last year in the White Plains, NY Bloomingdales. I've made purchases for myself and for gifts since and shared your link with several friends that have admired some pieces."
"As a 45th-anniversary gift for my husband, I ordered your Ani L Dodi silver neckpiece, one for him and one for me. You so graciously offered to make his chain a bit thicker. We both loved them immediately and have worn them since. Last evening as we were getting ready for bed, I mentioned he never takes it off. He gently said " I feel like I was meant to always have this on my neck":)Thank you for these most beautiful gifts and the magic of my beloved's words to me:)"

"Just wanted to thank you for the great necklace and tree of life pendant. I'm not a big jewelry type of person so the jewelry I wear is important to me. My mother passed away recently, and I got this to remember her by. It's great! You answered all of my questions, and got back to me within an hour of all of my emails. This is very impressive. I will recommend you to family and friends. Again, Thanks!"

"I wanted to share my picture with you and let you know that I bought my chai Bendel after we lived through hurricane sandy in Brooklyn NY and survived relatively unscathed. I was so grateful and have always believed in the protective power of the red string. I didn't want to take our situation or luck for granted and ordered the chai bendel from Alef Bet. When my five year old saw it she wanted one and when my two year old saw hers she wanted one too. We love our bracelets and never take them off!"

"Just want to tell you a special story about the beloved necklace: my brother passed away a couple of weeks ago, the day before his first wedding anniversary. He had been sick so didn't have a chance to get his wife a gift. In the midst of everything I had to write my article but had not chosen a topic. I think it was meant to be that I found your company during that time. I ordered the necklace for my sister in law as a wedding gift from my brother, "through" me, and it meant the world to her. So thank you."
- L.K
"I found and visited Alef Bet By Paula online store a couple of weeks ago, after seeing an ad for Paula's store on my Facebook Feed, I have to say that I am captivated and am in love all over again. I completely love Paula's tender and delicate designs that each jewelry piece reflects. If I had one word to express about Paula's beautiful jewelry I think I would choose the word [Stunning]. Her jewelry is completely "Stunning. " I am thankful I found Alef Bet by Paula."
- R.N
"I bought a tiny 14k gold Jewish Star necklace from Alef Bet and haven't taken it off since 2010. The only time I take it off is when I have to have an x-ray and then it is right next to me in my pocketbook. I layer it with a Hamsa and an evil eye as well."
- R.N
"I contacted Paula late in the game for a pair of engagement rings. She was very helpful in talking me through the options, and even fit my peculiar ring size! The rings arrived a couple of days later and I couldn't be happier. They're lovely! Thanks!"
"Have been delighted with everything I have bought from you so far.Thank you!"
"I have been a customer for a few years now, and I never found enough word to praise the jewelry Alef Bet makes. Each design is so nice and they have many, in my time dealing with them never found a piece of jewelry I did not like, enjoy wearing or didn't have a positive comment on it, I am a very satisfied customer, and the attention to the service to customers they provide is unique."

"When a bracelet came with the wrong charm and was a bit small, I called their 800 number and customer service immediately shipped a new bracelet and included a 60 cent stamp to return the other.

"One of Artistic Judaic Promotions' featured artists is Paula Brooks, a jewelry designer who also has her own website, Alefbet.com, which sells her own Judaic jewelry, including the now ubiquitous necklaces and bracelets made with Hebrew letter beads. "Over the years Terry and I have gotten to be such good friends, every time we meet at a trade show we have dinner together," says Brooks. "Our daughters have become good friends, too."
"Like Heller, Brooks shares her business with her daughter. Alissa Brooks Haroush joined Alefbet.com when she was a senior at UCLA. "Mom got so busy filling orders, she would call and ask me to come over and help," recalls Haroush, who at 34 is the mother of two and lives 10 minutes away from Brooks in Chats worth, California. "I found it fun and exciting, and, because I was in Judaic studies, it fit right in."
"Today, Haroush helps design the jewelry in addition to sharing the business side of the company. "Since Alissa was a little girl, we've done crafty projects together and we're a good pair because she has a different eye from mine," says Brooks. "I have to tell you, though, that of my three daughters, Alissa was the most headstrong when she was a teenager. I never would have imagined that we would be such good pair because she has a different eye from mine," says Brooks. "I have to tell you, though, that of my three daughters, Alissa was the most headstrong when she was a teenager. I never would have imagined that we would be such good friends as adults." Haroush echoes the sentiment. "When I was a teenager, I couldn't stand to be with my mom for five minutes," she says. "But now when we travel, we're together 24 hours a day and I love it. I've learned what a nice person she is and how enjoyable she is to be with."
"Both mother and daughter appreciate another advantage of an online, as opposed to a bricks-and-mortar, business. "Alissa has raised her kids right here in our home office," says Brooks. "How many women are lucky enough to see their grandchildren every day?" "When customers call and they hear kids in the background, they accept it," adds Haroush. "They get a kick out of our having such a strong family unit."

"They provided the fastest fulfillment and delivery. Awesome, as we couldn't wait to get our beautiful necklace. Plus, they are helping me to modify the jewelry to fit my 10 year old daughter. They have been very organized and professional with my request. They are more than attentive to what was unexpected in my purchase. Excellent customer service! Friendly, helpful staff. I will make sure to pass along their website to anyone who wants great Judiac jewelry. Beautiful stuff, too. Original designs at great prices."

"When a bracelet came with the wrong charm and was a bit small, I called their 800 number and customer service immediately shipped a new bracelet and included a 60 cent stamp to return the other. A quirk on the website had caused the wrong charm to be selected and customer service immediately had the website changed. Amazing service!"

I am in the early stages of my 2nd pregnancy, and on the day when I received your beautiful ring in the mail, I had just returned from my doctor's office where, even though it should have been too early to hear it, the doctor tried and successfully found my new baby's little heartbeat :) So when I came home and found your "luck" ring in the mailbox, I couldn't help but smile and say thank you!"

And the triple hamsa neck. And the pearl and ruby hamsa bracelet. All on a Thursday night! Thanks again for creating wonderful pieces, at great prices. Shabbat Shalom Happy Mother’s Day!"

"One of Artistic Judaic Promotions' featured artists is Paula Brooks, a jewelry designer who also has her own website, Alefbet.com, which sells her own Judaic jewelry, including the now ubiquitous necklaces and bracelets made with Hebrew letter beads. "Over the years Terry and I have gotten to be such good friends, every time we meet at a trade show we have dinner together," says Brooks. "Our daughters have become good friends, too."
"Like Heller, Brooks shares her business with her daughter. Alissa Brooks Haroush joined Alefbet.com when she was a senior at UCLA. "Mom got so busy filling orders, she would call and ask me to come over and help," recalls Haroush, who at 34 is the mother of two and lives 10 minutes away from Brooks in Chats worth, California. "I found it fun and exciting, and, because I was in Judaic studies, it fit right in."
"Today, Haroush helps design the jewelry in addition to sharing the business side of the company. "Since Alissa was a little girl, we've done crafty projects together and we're a good pair because she has a different eye from mine," says Brooks. "I have to tell you, though, that of my three daughters, Alissa was the most headstrong when she was a teenager. I never would have imagined that we would be such good pair because she has a different eye from mine," says Brooks. "I have to tell you, though, that of my three daughters, Alissa was the most headstrong when she was a teenager. I never would have imagined that we would be such good friends as adults." Haroush echoes the sentiment. "When I was a teenager, I couldn't stand to be with my mom for five minutes," she says. "But now when we travel, we're together 24 hours a day and I love it. I've learned what a nice person she is and how enjoyable she is to be with."
"Both mother and daughter appreciate another advantage of an online, as opposed to a bricks-and-mortar, business. "Alissa has raised her kids right here in our home office," says Brooks. "How many women are lucky enough to see their grandchildren every day?" "When customers call and they hear kids in the background, they accept it," adds Haroush. "They get a kick out of our having such a strong family unit."

Even though I am far from them geographically, on the other side of the country, shopping with Alef Bet feels like I'm visiting a favorite store around the corner. One time, there was a mail delay (not their fault at all), and they stopped at nothing to help track down the package for me. I have been so happy with everything I've purchased. I completely recommend Alef Bet!!"

Alef Bet is one of those very rare companies where the products are beautifully made, special in their meaning, and a customer service experience that exceeds all expectations.

It's a beautiful way of showing I care."
