Here is what people
are saying about Dov Bears!
I am so
taken with the Dov Bears. They are quite unique and very nicely made. I
would love to have all of them, and I am not of the Jewish Faith. I don't
think one needs to be..just believe in the concepts the bears stand for." -
Mieko
"I have seen your bears in person and was very please at how delightful
they are. It is so nice to see such unique bears and with such meaning
behind their creation. My husband and I have traveled to the Holy Land many
times over the years and
these bears are a great gift and reminder of all that we have seen and been
a part of. In our troubled world these little bears will give great comfort
to many people in their faith journey. Thankyou for giving them to us.'

so vivid and warm, but what I liked best was the immediate thought of love,

a fabulous Dov Bear to my collection. -beachboy

Jewish Culture. I just wanted to say thanks for providing a visual reminder
of the things we are studying.

receiving peace for myself will inspire others around me to pray for
peace also." -Susan Glenn
"This bear is very cute! Everyone can use a teddy bear. It helps us
escape our world, our realm of problems. Our teddy bears never yell at us,
they never give deadlines, or ridiculous rules. Our teddy bears never play
mind games with us, as we so often do to each other. A truly good thing, is
giving everyone a chance to enjoy life, and escape it with this bear. I
applaud your effort. Keep up the good work."
- Heather Hixson
"Oh I am so excited. Finally a bear I can really relate to. What I love

I think all of us have a soft spot in our hearts for Bears! No matter
how old we are! How can anyone resist? All the different colors, fabrics and
fun names! I collect bears as my babies (children), and my mother (who has 2
grandchildren) puts her in her enclosed glass cabinets to look at! No one is
too old to hold and enjoy! - RENEE

"I
love Shalom. Shalom is for Peace is perfect. Listening to the sounds of that
beautiful name says it all. Sh - the sound of quiet, the kind of quiet we
all desire to have in our hearts. Shal - to have present, a quiet presence.
Lom - loam is earth, as we all are on this earth together. Om - like in
home, home on earth with each other, home in our places of worship with our
religious communities, home in our dwellings with our families, and home in
our selves - our souls - with our G-d. Putting together all the sounds and
their meanings I hear a powerful message. A wish for peace in all aspects of
our lives with a quiet presence; and to live that peace within ourselves,
our families, our communities and indeed on this earth we all share.
Thanks for naming such a beautiful and peaceful bear Shalom."-Jan Trettin

away July 2, 1999 and she is having a time reconciling with her lose. She
has really turned to her religion to help. It's a cute bear to help her get
through her tough times." - CarolNext bear should be called Mazel. The

"I think that by choosing Shalom as the first bear to be
given in a contest, you have made an excellent choice. Peace, what a
wonderful concept, one that everyone should personally know. I know that
each of us can experience inner peace, even when the outside world is in
turmoil.
I am a Jew, not by birthright, but I am a spiritual Jew, being grafted in by
the King. These bears are so much more than just teddy bears to me. I
collect bears and love them, but these are just so special. I hope that
someone wins Shalom that will appreciate the great honor of having him in
their home."
May peace and joy follow you. -Norma Thompson

but have always been interested in the rituals and beliefs. This is a
wonderful way to teach many others something that alot of people don't
understand. You are opeining up many eyes in the world and are helping
people to understand.The fear of most people is that if they don't
understand something they either hide from it or refuse to understand. Maybe
your Dov bears will open many eyes in the world and help a lot of people to
understand what it is all about in the jewish community."

"
Forever - ILA
"I'VE SEEN A LOT OF BEARS SINCE I STARTED COLLECTING, BUT YOURS SEEM TO BE
SAYING SOMETHING. IT'S LIKE THEY COME ALIVE WHILE YOU'RE LOOKING AT THEM.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. THEY ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL.THANKS FOR MAKING THESE BEARS,
EVERYONE NEEDS JOY IN THEIR LIVES.THANKS AGAIN,"
- JUDY
"In a "Christian" world, it's hard to maintain a Jewish identity. Even the
collectible bears all have Christmas motifs which I end up getting to
complete my collection, but I like to have something "me"...something
Jewish. I also think that Sally is the most gifted bear artist on the
market, and Dov is brilliant for using Sally to create your bears. I got a
"Bandit" from Sally's club, and adore him!! I'd love to add a Dov bear to
my collection. I'm a disabled lady and enjoy collecting bears as a hobby. I
have Ty, Planet Plush, Bammers, my Winey, a couple Boyd's and I think a Dov
bear would fit right in!! :)"
-Amy M. Feinberg
"your bears are absolutely adorable and what nice messages they convey."
- Teddy Brown

your bears represent what is most important and that makes
them special"
Thankyou

"It is so wonderful to have a company to share in the joy of bears and also
the joys of Judaism. What a great change of pace for us~ and FUN~! I'm
planning on purchasing one for each of my children for the upcoing holiday
season~ Thank you so much for including the Jewish Faith in your company. It
is often forgotten at holiday time by those who are in retail. Thank you so
much for the change...it is a welcome one~"
