Communication
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
We are solving the extremely pressing problem of widespread Jewish apathy about being Jewish. Our original content reaches Jews of all observance levels, affiliations, ages, ethnicities, socio-economic categories and geographic locations. We receive messages daily from isolated and alienated Jews who are deeply appreciative of the Jewish teachings we provide. We are also helping non-Jews to connect with our 3000 year old wisdom tradition for living a meaningful life. For example, we teach the mechanics of civil discourse in a time when civility is sorely lacking form American public life.
