About
The Gateway to Jewish Education, Est. 2026
TGJE was the brainchild of founder David Nathan Almoslino with the idea that “in today’s modern world, every Jew (or convert) has easy access to learning Judaism." Indeed, David has been navigating the Jewish education world for over 4 decades, not having extensive formal Jewish education growing up. In his 20’s David’s personal (Jewish) growth began as a defense of his religion while living with a Christian. He realized he didn’t know much about it, but since it was his religion at birth, he felt that it was no accident that he was born Jewish and so decided to embark on his lifelong journey.
At first, with the guidance of “Kollel” (team of …) Rabbis, he was directed to learn from studying the Talmud (oral teachings that were eventually written down and discussed at great length). In short order, David, with his desire to get to know Judaism, it’s purpose and his purpose, he found his own path, by seeking to understand Judaism from the 10,000 foot level. Years later, he realized that his never ending questioning would lead to sharing his passion for Judaism, and what he learned to the greater Jewish (and beyond) world in his upcoming (to be titled) book. G’d willing.
TGJE is pleased to offer the following:
Carefully selected websites and literature from sources that accurately reflect the religion based on what we feel are generally accepted practices from Jewish legal and rabbinical authorities.
Categorized Jewish educational resources by topic.
An organized method for learning the religion, as opposed to simply providing the viewer with overwhelming information.
Provide mentorship for viewers who want to take their learning journey with one or more valuable companions along the way.
David’s lifelong goal of learning – and to teach others - may one day be a beacon for many more Jews to easily enhance their understanding of such a dynamic religion or to “find their way home.” With this website, the table is set for Jews to easily move forward at their own pace.
CONNECTING…
Thoughts about personally connecting with Hashem
Our SOUL is the invisible connecting link we all have with Hashem, our Creator. Of course, each of us will need to define what that connection looks like and feels like. We provide a few sources to help you ponder that most important aspect of our life.
>.. Toward a Meaningful Life (S. Jacobson) Based on the teaching of “The Rebbe” (Schneersohn), this is a beautiful book that shows how to put into practice Judaism while connecting with Hashem on a daily basis.
