April 8, 2025 – New York, NY — Unpacked, an OpenDor Media brand, is proud to announce the launch of Judaism Unpacked, curated content and a community to inspire young Jews of all backgrounds to deepen their connection with their identity and further their understanding of Jewish ideas, festivals, personalities, and more.

With many young Jews lacking access to meaningful Jewish learning, Judaism Unpacked seeks to fill this gap with frequent, engaging, and thought-provoking content designed to make Jewish learning approachable, relatable, and lasting. “The launch of Judaism Unpacked reflects our commitment to ensuring that there those seeking to learn from, and connect to, Judaism’s foundational ideas and texts can do so in a way that meaningfully resonates. Particularly since October 7th we have seen a growing demand for content that can do that.” said Andrew Savage, CEO of OpenDor Media.

Judaism Unpacked offers a multi-platform learning experience including:
● A bi-monthly YouTube series unpacking big Jewish questions and concepts
● Explainer articles that dive deeper into topics
● A weekly newsletter called The Portion, offering curated insights, stories, and
content
● A dedicated and active social media presence on Instagram and TikTok

Beyond content, a key pillar of the initiative is building a vibrant, values-driven community of young Jews seeking meaningful connection. In the coming months, Judaism Unpacked will host:
● Moderated online forums for real-time discussion
● Quarterly webinars and in-person meetups
● Exclusive subscriber content for deeper engagement

“Our approach is to meet people where they are and take Jewish learning seriously,” said Dr. Noam Weissman, EVP at OpenDor Media. “Judaism Unpacked is about sparking people’s emotional, spiritual and intellectual curiosity by providing a deeply insightful education, which makes Judaism a part of your real, everyday life—no matter your level of background or observance. We want people to see themselves in the Jewish story, and for people to pursue their own independent and sincere relationship with Judaism.”

By providing consistent exposure to Jewish  learning in compelling formats, Judaism Unpacked aims to change how young secular Jews engage with their identity—shifting from passive observation to active exploration, and from cultural connection to intellectual and spiritual curiosity.
