Our goal

Ein Yaakov has never been brought to a reading experience like this. Our goal is to open its hidden light to every Jew, every day.

The web app

A learning experience unlike any other.

A new English translation set beside the pointed Hebrew, line by line, with mefarshim from hundreds of sages and mystics beside the text: every Rishon and Acharon, the Mekubalim, Nigleh, Kabbalah and Chassidut.

The printed seforim

Coming out as each part is completed.

Each Seder will be printed as it is completed, b’ezrat Hashem, beginning with Seder Zeraim and Berakhot.

About the sefer
The daily cycle, planned
June 8, 2027

That day Daf Yomi begins its fifteenth cycle, at Berakhot 2a. Ein Yaakov · Ohr HaGanuz plans to open its daily learning cycle alongside it: the aggadah of each day’s daf, with its mefarshim.

From there the learning grows, step by step.
