We were grateful and humbled to receive many excellent applications from Gashmius readers around the world, and after significant reflection and discussion we selected Avidan from a short list of finalists. Avidan will work closely with our editor-in-chief and art director to develop and share novel, accessible Torah that will bring meaning and depth to your Jewish liturgical year.

"You should feel the pain of others in your own heart — particularly when many are suffering… If you can’t feel this pain, you must strike your head against the walls of your heart."

Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, Sichot Haran 39

Gashmius Magazine is a platform for a non-hierarchical Judaism that is rooted in, but not confined to, Hasidic sources and teachings. We strive to make the wealth of Jewish mystical spirituality accessible to anyone who might find it meaningful. Central to this project is the Hasidic idea that holiness is found in all of physicality; our obligation to recognize and uplift that holiness guides both our religiosity and our progressivism.
