CEO Jewish Workshops
"Esther presented at Jewish Workshops Elul Yom Iyun. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and learn from. Her grounded approach, deep knowledge, and effortless wit create the perfect blend of relatability and inspiration. She has a remarkable way of turning growth and transformation from distant ideals into real, attainable goals — leaving you both empowered and confident in your ability to move forward."
Founder/Director Chazkeinu
“Esther Kurtz is a truly exceptional speaker. Her presentation for Chazkeinu was wise, insightful, and deeply impactful. Esther answered every question with remarkable sensitivity and clarity, creating an atmosphere of safety, reflection, and growth.
Esther’s well-thought-out talk offered so much food for thought and left our members inspired, understood, and uplifted. Esther has a unique ability to communicate profound ideas with warmth, sincerity, and authenticity. We are so grateful for the wisdom and heart she shared with our community.”
"Esther is an engaging, incisive speaker who's fun to listen to because she keeps the pace quick — and humorous, too. Her thoughtful content has depth and practical takeaways, and she's relatable so everything she shares is so well received.
When I shared that there's a platform I listen to her on - I got so many requests for the link! People just wanted to hear more."
"As a business owner of a healthcare practice, I've often found that whatever you do leads to stress in some regard I've read books and taken courses and contracted with a total management company only to come to the same stressful conclusion. Until I took a one-hour crash course on Bitachon Esther's hands-on, straight-from-Shaar-Bitachon guidance is that game-changer that doesn't only change a variable here and there - it changes you"
