Dear Shoshanna, I just got home from Florida last night and I found the CD in my mail. Thank you very much, I love it. I just wanted to tell you that I heard of you from a friend of yours , Dr. David Moshe. I went to see him a few times and I really like this man. He is very sweet and I learned a lot from him about Jewish customs and law. He always had one of your CD's playing and I told him, I have to get this beautiful music. It is so very annointed. Thank you again and GOD bless you richly.

With Love

Dear Mrs. Harrari or Shoshanna, if I may,  My brother, Daniel, received your beautiful door harp this morning and called, excited to let us know of its arrival. He is as excited, if not more, as when the first arrived. I wish to thank you so much for this. You went above and beyond what I ever expected. For me, it has been a unique experience just to hear and have some contact from someone who is from Israel. I am a believer in God and know how important His people are to Him. Please know that since this began, I have prayed for both you and your husband for His protection for you and for your continued knowledge of Him and His desire for your life. This is an incredible gift that we have received and know we will always think of you when it is gazed upon and heard.

Thank you again for your generosity and kindness. It has been a blessing.

Dear Shoshanna and Micah,

Almost a year ago (some time around mother's day), my husband contacted you to order a beautiful door harp from you. I had done a lot of research on the internet to find the door harp similar to the one I was imagining and dreaming to have one day. My fascination with door harps started as soon I learned they were hand made, with a lot of patience, care, attention to detail and TALENT, much like what it takes to create a violin. I am originally from Quebec, Canada. My first language is French. I met my husband at Laval University, in a Speech and Drama class. He was from California so we decided to live there at the beginning of our marriage. I asked him to introduce me to some American literature that had made an impression on him as he had grown up. He found books for me written by various authors: Maya Angalou, Angela Davis, J.D. Salinger, and Chaim Potok to name a few. The first book I read by Chaim Potok was "Davita's harp". I was captivated by that story and I read it over and over again wherever we went to live. After California, we moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, and finally near Toronto, Ontario. I was happy to be back in Canada because I had the chance to speak French more often Whenever I read "Davita's harp" I was picturing a beautiful door harp in my mind, much like the one that had been drawn on the book cover I was reading.

One day I decided to find out more on door harps and I was amazed to find out on the internet that you are have created your door harps after the door harp described by Chaim Potok in his book. Right then I knew one of my very best dream was about to come true. When I showed my husband the harp I wanted he tried to find a cheaper one (in Canada). Even if I could appreciate the work done by other people in door harp making, no one except you at the House of Harrari was making MY door harp, the one that had already taken shape in my imagination many years ago. I must tell you I was very impatient to get my door harp after my husband e-mailed you to order it. At the same time I did not want to rush you because I know that making a door harp must require a long process which has to take its course (much like the ribbon and silk embroidery I make). When my door harp finally arrived at the end of August 2008 or at the beginning of September 2008, I was very excited. My heart was racing, my hands were shaking as I was opening my present from Israel. I was glad to be on my own because I could not hold my tears of joy as I contemplated my beautiful Davita's harp for the first time. (It was a feeling that reminded me of the day I looked at our baby girl (whom we adopted from/in China at the age of 6 1/2 months).It was an incredible joy that I was feeling, a joy that I knew would only be growing with time. I was impressed, as I was opening your delivery, of the care and obvious attention you put in wrapping this beautiful door harp. Even the box it came in looks artistic! (I keep it preciously). Thank you also for the beautiful card you sent along with it as well as the instructions (written in a beautiful calligraphy setting, suitable to the door harp). Really as I was opening my precious present I was thinking ("These people are true artists, they take such attention to detail to add beauty to this world...Wow!) And when I saw my Davita's harp for the first time, I found it even more beautiful than I had even imagined it to be. My husband, daughter and myself (even our dog Ebony-a black labrador retriever), just love the sound of my beautiful door harp. People with a musical ear always notice our door harp and they always express their amazement at its beauty and delicate sound. When they find out it is hand made in Israel they are even more impressed. I really like to positively and artistically impress our visitors.

Thank you Shoshanna and Micah for devoting yourselves to create and add beauty to this world which needs it so much. When I look and listen to my door harp (which I call Davita, of course), it reminds me that the human being is made from God, and that in each one of us, there is a string of God Himself. I would like to hear from you again, I must add that you live in a part of the world that has always fascinated me.

Shoshanna,

The harp arrived today! It's absolutely beautiful...just like I knew it would be. Thank you so much for your hard work. We will enjoy the sweet music of your harp in our home forever.

Hi Shoshanna,

today the harp arrived. :-) I am sooo happy. It is so beautiful and it sounds so nice. I can not tell you in English. Thank you very much to everybody who worked on it. It is great. And the butterfly is much more nicer than I thought, because it is not carved into the wood, but up on it. Thank you very much.

With love and many blessings to all of you

I found your website and I felt as though I was in the presence of King David…thank you so much for sharing this site…. I live in America and love G-d so much and you have gave me a special gift today.

Dearest Shoshanna:

The Harp has arrived!! Today!! I came home and there in the foyer was the box. I was so excited! However, since my work day was not yet finished had to make our late lunch, go finish other errands before I would let myself open the box. At my last errand, the bank, I met a high school teacher who teaches music! I shared how excited I was to have received the harp today. Further more, today is the 31st yearly anniversary of the day of "Teshuvah" for myself, February 28, 1977, the day of returning to God, little did I know it would be a journey that would reach all the way to Israel and Jerusalem! and to the far corners of the earth to my Jewish ancestors. Since the Jewish day begins at night, it is actually the beginning of tomorrow today! This dear precious harp could only have arrived on today!

Each year on my anniversary, I would be blessed in unusual ways. When I opened my emails this morning and read your sweet letter, I wept with joy!

Dearest Micah and Shoshanna - A true blessing arrived yesterday afternoon - my long awaited beautiful Kinnor David, my very own harp for worship and joy!!! It is truly a work of art that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Thank you for making this happen as G-d directed this to be. -C. E. Canada

I was blessed in Washington, D.C. to hear a lady play on one of your wonderful harps. I believe it was the most beautiful music I have ever heard. -C. B. Washington, D.C.

'Greetings harraris!
Hoorar, hooray! The harp is gorgeous - looks, sounds, presence! My cousin from Cincinatti was here the day it arrived and we enjoyed opening it, and at last unearthed such a treasure!  Thanks so much for building such a lovely work of art in sound and vision" -J.S. Ohio

We arrived home today and the harp was already here. It is so beautiful! My daughter said it was even pretttier than the picture.
Yes, everything is possible! -J.R. San Diego

The Atara Nevel has arrived and it is so beautiful. I know G-d and I will make beautiful music together..... P. G. London

I was notified by telephone that my harp had arrived. The next day it was delivered. I am delighted with it! It is so lovely. I am so grateful to you for supplying me with the new dimension of prayer. I already feel closer to G-d than I ever have in my life.
-S.T. New York

We received our harp on Aug 15. How excited we were to receive the call from the shipping company that it had arrived. The Kinnor is so beautiful. We have shown it to our pastor and friends and they have all expressed their pleasure in its beauty and sound. Thank you for the hours and and care you put into its creation. It shall always be cherished in our home.  -C F. Oregon

My Atara nevel Harp becpmes more dear to me every day. I'm so grateful to you for making these wonderful instruments, and so happy that I purchased one before leaving Israel. -A.F. Oklahoma

I received the most beautiful doorharp from a dear friend upon her return from Israel. Everyone who enters my home remarks on the sound as well as the beauty of the harp. My parents are celebrating their 50th anniversary soon. I would be so thrilled if I could purchase a harp from you for them for this occasion. I will be anxiously awaiting your reply.
-E.P. Massachusetts

I have received the beautiful Atara Nevel Harp. It arrived on the Friday before Rosh Hashana. The wood is very lovely as you said it would be, and I am very pleased.  -H.W. California

Shalom! Blessed be the G-d of Abraham, Issac and Jacob! What beautiful harps you make. I am ready to order my Kinnor David next week and am looking forward to learning my personal Shir Hadash, the new song that is ready to emerge from my soul. -P.D. Switzerland

I am so thrilled with my new harp. It has a beautiful sound and the workmanship is so lovely. I love the beautiful clear sound. -G.L. Colorado

The doorharp arrived just yesterday and it is absolutely beautiful. The craftsmanship is lovely and the motif goes so well with my newly-decorated apartment which has the emphasis on fruit and flowers. Thanks for all your care in getting it to me in perfect condition. Wishing you all good things - mostly peace. -M.K. New York

I adore my harp - that is putting it mildly.. and I love the tape you sent beacause it gives me the understanding of how the songs should sound when I play... Thank you, thank you, thank you....! -J.K. Vermont

In July, my wife and I collected my wife's harp at the Amsterdam airport. The harp is so beautiful! I love its sound and tone. Micah, thank you for making this harp and sending it to Amsterdam. Shoshanna, thank you for your loving and caring way of speaking and writing to us. We hope that G-d will continue to protect you and bless you. We will continue to pray for you and for Israel and the peace of Jerusalem. G-d bless you! Shalom!  -J.E. Holland

"I am sitting here with tears streaming down my face...I am so moved by your web page, by the beauty of your voices and the harp playing in the background."

 "Thank you very much for the lovely cd's and brochure you sent me on the beautiful harps you create. Please create for me a sacred instrument of healing sound, an Atara Nevel harp..."

"Just a note to let you know how much we love the harp you crafted for us. The harp has it's own location in our home and displayed with special lighting. May G-d bless you and contimue to bless your craft."   -J.R., Michigan

"It has been several weeks since I received the information you sent. Thank you for the brochure,  the photos, and the CD's. I have listened to the music more than a dozen times. The stories you shared about the biblical history of the harp, as well as your own experience touched me deeply. I was caught by surprise. I had inquired about a musical instrument, and the response from you was a spiritual experience - and the experience has continued."  -H.W., Jerusalem, Israel

"I don't want just an instrument (harp). I am after the total identification with the harp's origins....Israel. I do believe what you said about it being an instrument of the soul, prayer and warfare. The origin of something makes all the difference between the real and the counterfeit. Like the oil for the lamps in the Temple that had to be sanctified for seven days, then on the eigth day it was Holy unto the Lord."   -Y.T., California

"I just want to let you know how much I enjoy my door harp. I bought three, the other two were gifts. The ones that received the gifts love them, and tell me so often of the beautiful tune it makes."  -G.W., Amsterdam

"I received your brochure tape and cd. All the music I have heard in my life cannot draw a comparison with your music,it is Awesome. It will be my favorite tape to listen to. And about the wind and the harp, I never knew that. The sound is something I don't believe anyone in this world would have a word for."  -E.B., New Jersey

"My son is only 2 years old. He is very musical.... My wife and I have been thinking of introducing him to the harp. Of course, he is too young. Maybe in a couple of years he will be ready. As Jews, we would rather him learn something authentic to our people, rather than a celtic harp or something like that." -A.J., Efrat, Israel

"Thank you for your beautiful web page! A friend of mine e-mailed me, all excited, when she found your site! I have dreamed of harps all my life. I recently had a dream where I was being shown how to use the harp for healing. I got the "goose bumps" when I read that these harps were used for healing in ancient times!!! - P.D., Kansas City, Kansas

" I will close with a prayer for you and your husband; "Dear G-d I give thanks for people like Shoshanna and Micah in the calling that you have put upon their lives to bring back to their people the harps of ancient times. May you continue to show them the grace of discovery  in finding those great secrets of old. May your peace continue to fill their souls and may their business prosper for your glory. I thank you for the sweet spirit that you have given Shoshanna and her kindness that she shows others. Let your Spirit continue to shine through her as she serves you in the closing hours of mankind." -G.H., Israel
