As the new Jewish year 5787 begins, the Or Olam Center is conducting its annual consultation with listeners of its educational content line. The center aims to gather direct input from the public regarding their interests, preferred topics for deeper study, and desired knowledge areas for the upcoming year's content and activities. This yearly telephone survey helps Or Olam's content teams understand listener preferences to improve and expand their offerings.
This year, the consultation has been significantly expanded, with a goal of reaching approximately 100,000 respondents. Tens of thousands have already participated, and the center anticipates a comprehensive and insightful picture of the Haredi public's intellectual and cultural interests upon completion. Potential topics include Jewish history, heroism, the Holocaust, contemporary events, astronomy, Jewish music, and sacred melodies.
Or Olam emphasizes that the consultation's purpose is to listen to the public's preferences, not to dictate content. The collected data will guide the center's planning for the 5787 year, influencing the selection of topics, productions, and activities. For the first time, the consultation includes a large-scale raffle for over 200 participants, offering prizes such as a trip to Poland with Rabbi Israel Goldwasser, a family presentation, participation in a "Journey to the Temple Gates" event, a trip to the Gaza envelope region, and a copy of the book "And the Sons Shall Return."
Rabbi Hanoch Zvi Rubinstein, Chairman of the Or Olam Center, stated that the expanded scope aims to gather a large number of responses quickly, providing an exceptional opportunity to understand public needs and preferences for the upcoming year. The center is pleased with the strong initial response and expects many more participants in the coming two weeks. Interested individuals can join the consultation and raffle by calling the Or Olam content line at 0733-45-45-45.
