Build a new story for Beit Shemesh

For 20+  years we have been building new stories for cities (Mayor of Toronto), countries (Prime Ministers of Israel, Canada, Australia and more), governments (Israel’s Ministry of Health, Canada, United States), and we have built and told new stories of the Jewish people through:  Jerusalem U, Healthcare Israel, OpenDor Media, Thank Israeli Soldiers, Mosaic, Ogen, OurCrowd, Lawfare Project, MyZuzah, ZOA, World Zionist Organization, Aish, Chabad, Concert and Mayberg Foundation (our founding partner).

We specialize in multi-language storytelling – in Hebrew, English, Russian, and 10+ more languages.

We are ready to build a new story for Beit Shemesh.
