Wisdom should leave
you breathless.

Rabbi Gedaliah Gurfein is a Jerusalem-based Gemara Rebbe, author, media creator and technology pioneer. For more than four decades, his work has brought the depth of Torah into conversation with the language, questions and technologies of contemporary life.

Esther Bracha Kaminer is a strategist and venture builder with three decades of experience spanning television and print, international communications, strategy and operations. She has worked with global companies, institutional partners, family offices and emerging ventures, leading large-scale launches and building the structures, momentum and language that move ideas into public life. Her work brings communication, operations and creative direction into one system. Her involvement in Jewish education has included initiatives connected with Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz. She founded AFIQ, a privacy-first AI platform, and Alpha Beata Group, focused on venture building and R&D.

Following the publication of Counting Towers: The Path of Secrets, Esther was moved by the clarity and lightness she found in Gedaliah’s work and considered it a privilege to work alongside him in bringing his growing body of work into public view through Midrash X. Together, they shaped the platform’s structure and creative expression. Esther organized its launch and contributes to its strategy, execution, information architecture, workflows and storytelling. She hopes Midrash X will allow others to experience the same sense of discovery and possibility—and carry its light further.

Amit Fix is an international business-development executive, nonprofit leader and relationship builder with more than two decades of experience across the for-profit and nonprofit worlds. He has built cross-border partnerships, opened markets, developed investor and donor relationships, raised capital and guided teams through growth and change. His work spans investment groups, real estate and start-ups, as well as healthcare, FinTech, education and community development, combining strategic vision with the practical ability to turn ambitious ideas into sustainable initiatives.

Amit’s connection to Gedaliah’s work began when he encountered The People’s Talmud. Its creative, thought-provoking approach made texts that can feel difficult or inaccessible engaging, and showed him how Jewish wisdom could meet people in their own language and on their own terms. In Midrash X, Amit brings his experience in partnerships, fundraising and international relationship-building to help give Gedaliah’s projects reach, continuity and a sustainable future. He hopes to help build a global community of “lighthouses” carrying learning, purpose, connection and goodness outward.
