AishVision 2030 is not just Aish’s vision. It is a vision for the Jewish Nation. We are only as strong as the love that Jews have for each other and the Almighty.
We have a mission at Aish. We know that the knowledge that we possess can change lives for the better. We must facilitate the dissemination of that knowledge and make it easily attainable for all.
It is not miraculous that Aish has achieved international recognition as one of the most inspirational and successful Jewish organizations in existence. Learn about the core values that got us here.
Every day millions of Jews are walking our streets with no knowledge of the beauty of our faith.We want everyone to be able to study Jewish wisdom from your home.
Once again it was my honor to represent Aish at the White House Chanukah party. It has always been a personally meaningful event for me as I am so thankful for the freedom of religion that we have as Jews in America.

“Life revolves around words,” rap legend Nissim Black said at New York City’s Safra Center on Nov. 8th. “We take for granted how much speech has an effect on a person’s mind, soul, entire being.”

I placed the holy ash in my wallet to then use at the Adler-Desatnik chuppa.
“Now I have been embraced by brothers I did not know I had and am spending time defending a country I didn’t know was mine.”
When I speak about only-at-Aish moments, it is one just like this. While we all may differ on our politics or opinions we can never forget that we all pray to the same G-d.
This past Monday was a special day for Aish – and for me personally…Since my father, zt’l, passed away one year ago on Rosh Hashanah, the Erbers made the decision to donate a Torah in memory of my father and Bari’s grandmother…

Countless inspired Jews today owe their journey to Jack Gindi and Zev Wolfson, zt”l. Even though they are gone physically, they are still impacting the world around us. As we enter into the Jewish month of Elul, we all must think about our ongoing contributions to the Jewish people.
As I mentioned one of the true thrills for me is to get to know the members of our movement wherever I travel.
In general I don’t discuss my personal life. Not on social media or here. I want to make an exception in the case of sharing with you my journey through the kaddish prayer.
There were even more meetings, introductions and visits that happened in between all of these events, but this gives you a sampling of the unique intensity of what just twenty-four hours looks like here at Aish.
My friends, Judaism is about sharing a journey together. It’s not just about Rabbis and Rebbetzins. Every Jew can make a difference. You can make a difference.
I spent the past week meeting with the Aish Lay Steering Committee and executive professional team. So many thoughtful conversations took place revolving around Aish’s exponential growth.
