Letter From Our CEO

Jewish life and Zionism have changed in ways that, just a short time ago, we could never have imagined. We are only beginning to understand the far-reaching effects the war against Hamas will have in Israel and on Jewish life across the globe.

One thing though is crystal clear: the need for a credible source that provides nuanced honest information, context and explanations on Judaism, Jewish life and Zionism in compelling and easily-accessible ways, has never been greater.

This is, and always has been, our mission: to be the address for the most engaging, informative and inspiring Jewish and Israel-related educational media that strengthens the understanding and enduring personal connection of all young Jews and their peers to Judaism, Israel and the Jewish people.

In realizing this mission, we are part of shaping a new Jewish world. A world where anyone, anywhere, who seeks to understand Israel, can find answers they understand and that inspire them. Where every Jew – regardless of their background, social status, or address – can access a treasure trove of informative and uplifting videos, podcasts, and articles that help them make sense of their Jewish identity and celebrate their heritage. Where every school and educational institution across the globe has affordable access to world-class educational resources that cover every important perspective on Israeli history and culture, antisemitism, and Jewish tradition, identity and spirituality. And perhaps most urgent, a world where the power of social media is harnessed for good. To fill our children’s feeds with a diverse range of powerful Jewish and Zionist voices that inspire pride, connection and understanding.

This is the world we have been building together from the day OpenDor Media was founded.

In the month immediately following the October 7 massacres, 3.2 million unique viewers from 186 different countries watched videos on the Unpacked YouTube channel. In these pages you will find more details of our work and its impact.

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 2023, we realize just how much bigger and more ambitiously we need to think and act to meet the challenges of 2024 and beyond. 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.
