2024
Annual Report

At the beginning of 2024, Israel was in the midst of a multi-front war that was already extending well beyond Gaza. Recent Congressional hearings had shone a light on the unprecedented scale and intensity of Israel-hatred students were experiencing across U.S. campuses. The uptick in antisemitism was being experienced across the world.

In the midst of a moment that is changing realities not just for Israel, but for Jews and Zionists everywhere, OpenDor Media’s mission to reach and educate millions with credible, thoughtful and positive content has taken on more importance and greater urgency than ever before.

Our work in 2024 is the story of our attempts to rise to the challenge of meeting the moment to ensure that anyone, anywhere, anytime, can access engaging, informative and inspiring Jewish and Israel-related educational media that strengthens understanding and connection to Israel, to Judaism and to the story of the Jewish people.

To meet that challenge, we have expanded our reach to new audiences across diverse platforms and programs, creating groundbreaking content that resonates with our diverse audiences. From record-breaking viewership on our videos to an unprecedented surge in podcast listeners and website engagement, 2024 has been a year of unparalleled growth. We’ve connected with hundreds of students and educators both in Jewish and secular schools through UED and ConnectED, and millions more around the globe through Unpacked and Amplified, sparking new conversations, inspiring deeper connections, and empowering individuals with the knowledge and tools to engage meaningfully with Jewish and Israel-related topics.

But we know that there is still so much more work to be done. For every person we reach we know that those spreading misinformation and false narratives reach many times more. And we realize that however good and honest our content is, or however much interest it attracts, we are competing with exponentially more content that promotes narrow, one-sided and often malicious agendas.

So while we are proud of what we accomplished in 2024, we realize just how much bigger and more ambitiously we need to think and act to meet the challenges of 2025 and beyond. In order to reach and impact hearts and minds in a new and very different world.

Thank you for joining us on the journey and for your generous support and partnership.
