Dorice Horenstein is a Jewish educator, turned speaker and author of Moments of The Heart: Four Relationships Everyone Should Have to Live Wholeheartedly.

Horenstein was born and raised in Israel and moved to Portland after serving as an officer in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and after meeting her soon-to-be husband while volunteering on a kibbutz. She worked in education for more than 30 years, teaching more than 1,000 students in private and class settings. She received her Bachelor’s degree in English Literature, and certificates in Linguistics and Project Management from Portland State University. Today, the world is her classroom as she uses her unique communicative style and her knowledge in helping others foster the four relationships everyone should experience to live wholeheartedly! She speaks to all groups who wish to live a better, more focused and enjoyable life! A life with a purpose. She enjoys Israeli folk dancing and spending time with family and friends.

Her work has been praised by Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, best-selling author of more than 15 books on Jewish ethics and literacy. Telushkin states, “The book is very powerful and very beautiful. What I have read is passionate, very spiritual, and well-reasoned, three things that don’t always go together. I particularly love the analysis of the word matzpun [conscience] and its variety of related meanings, and I was profoundly moved by the journey you took and how you came to write this book.”
