Stories of Tzadikim
You speak of these tzadikim with reverence and awe. Maybe you travel to their kevarim each year.
But to our children? The greatest sages who shaped Yiddishkeit are too often just dry footnotes, names buried in a sefer they need to memorize for school.
What if your child could slip into the Baal Shem Tov’s secret journeys before he became known? Or walk the streets of Vilna and watch the Gaon’s brilliance and holiness unfold before their eyes?
By dramatizing the lives of our holiest sages, we can give children a front-row seat to history—immersing them in the powerful moral choices, righteousness, and kindness we want them to absorb. With your help, we could bring to life many more, such as:
- “Guard Your Tongue” — the Chofetz Chaim’s dilemmas, dramatized so children learn about positive speech and kindness not from lectures but from life. Scenes could show him discreetly paying for a poor man’s items at a shop to spare embarrassment, or speaking out against harsh treatment of a maid.
- The Seamstress — a show about the life and legacy of Sarah Schenierer, portraying how she built the Bais Yaakov movement with powerful conviction in the face of overwhelming odds.
- Light in Our Generation — a sweeping, multi-episode journey that follows the Lubavitcher Rebbe from his youth in Europe studying Torah, through his escape during World War II, and his eventual emergence as one of the most influential Jewish leaders of the modern era.
Our children deserve to get to know these giants as living, breathing guides to a life well lived according to our highest ideals.
When you dedicate a series in honor of the sage you revere, you create a living legacy. And you give the next generation a chance to walk beside the greats, to feel their struggles, and to be shaped by their light.
