While the mission of the Eva Foundation is to serve girls, an indelible part of our purpose is remember Eva, to make her presence alive for us as well as the community at large. I’ve just finished reading an extraordinary memoir by David Horowitz, “A Cracking of the Heart,” about his daughter Sarah Horowitz, who died at 43 on March 6, 2008. We were acquainted with Sarah through our synagogue. No matter what you may think of his politics, David invokes Sarah powerfully in these pages; she is alive for you when you put the book down. We hope that Eva’s presence is alive here, that you can feel her compassion, her zest for life, and her capacity to love in the way the Eva Foundation conducts itself. David ends his memoir with the inscription from Sarah’s headstone: “She was given/Mountains to climb/Which she did/Lifting all the hearts she touched.” As did Eva. May both their memories be a blessing.
