About Eve Harrow:
Eve Harrow is a veteran podcaster, experienced Israeli tour guide and longtime public speaker and educator. She’s currently completing an MA in Land of Israel Studies and Archaeology at Bar Ilan University to join her MA in Psychology. She’s the Director of Tourism and Community Development for the One Israel Fund.
Eve combines her extensive knowledge of history, the Bible, the Land, human behavior, religion and relationships to enhance people’s understanding of current events in a broad context and multi-faceted way. Her hard earned and perhaps surprisingly progressive opinions are an important perspective to hear to offset our American tendency to project our political paradigms on to a very complicated situation in a extremely volatile region.
Eve and her physician husband live in Efrat, where they raised seven children and where she served as councilwoman for a decade.
