Ground floor · a living house of Jewish learning

Midrash X — Telling a Better Story

Telling a Better Story

Ancient sources.
A living voice.

Books, digital platforms, films, games and spiritual technology — connected as one house and built to rise.

A creative home by Rabbi Gedaliah Gurfein

One house · many doors

Not a collection of projects.
A house they can inhabit.

Each landing is a different way into Jewish wisdom: a book, a voice, a searchable sea, a game, a live room. The staircase keeps the work connected while every project retains its own visual world.

The first landing

Three books.
Three lives in motion.

Scroll through the gallery. Each cover rests as a book until you hover, focus or bring it to the center of a touch screen — then its five-second world comes alive.

Radiance · a living voice

Step into
the light.

The Zohar means Radiance or Splendor, and The People’s Zohar invites you to step into that light. Enter through a theme or reference and encounter the Zohar as a living voice — not simply a book from the past.

own course.

Begin with what already matters to you — relationships, justice, food, faith, joy or loss — and follow that thought from one shore to the other. There is no need to begin at the beginning.
