The Sefer

Just a quick update on where things are holding with the production of my sefer. Baruch Hashem, all of Sefer Bereshis - four years worth of shiurim - have been typed out. More than half of them have been through a first stage edit. Hashem has now given me the opportunity to work with Uriela Sagiv as an editor for my book. She was actually the editor for M. Scott Peck's book "The Road Less traveled," as well as Kirk Douglas' books. She has worked on numerous serious Jewish books, as well, that involve a Kabbalistic theme. Her expertise is taking lectures and putting them into book form. I am extremely excited to be working with her, B'ezras Hashem, and it is an opportunity that didn't seem possible as she was extremely busy. Her schedule just opened up to be able to work on my book for the month following Shavuos, so it is now a chance to help me get the book completed so it can be available in the stores by the time Sefer Bereshis begins again after Succos. I appreciate any and all donations.

Ari Goldwag Sefer/Book

Hashem has helped me so much over the last few years in creating Torah that is both inspirational and deep. He also helped me to find wonderful venues to broaden the audience of listeners through itunes, blogger and facebook. I have merited to receive numerous emails with feedback from people whose lives were deeply affected by the Torah that Hashem gave me as a gift. I am gratified that the Parsha podcast garners between 500 and 600 downloads a week, and the daily podcasts get up to 100 or so downloads a day.

Recently, I have decided to take the past three years of Parsha podcasts, as well as the current year's podcasts, which I am working on now, and to create a book that would have the ability to reach a broader audience. The book will iy'H include many inspiring and elsewhere unexplored concepts, including Moshiach ben Yosef, many kabbalistic ideas, and many deep ideas mostly inaccessible to the English speaking public.

Putting together this work involves many expenses, from typing out the shiurim, to editing them for printed form, to final editing and proofing, to a cover and printing costs, as well as advertising costs. It is a tremendous merit to be involved in bringing a deeper level of Torah to the Jewish people, and although I wish I could personally take it on monetarily myself, I do not have the funds to do so. It is not my personality to ask others for money, but in this case, I feel that there is a gift I want to share with the Jewish people, and I can not stand idly by at this time. I therefore am turning to you and offering an opportunity to be involved in this project. Any donation will be accepted, from the smallest to the greatest. I truly believe that the merit for being involved in this project will be very great for anyone who takes it upon themselves.

This is a special donate button for the Sefer/book. If you decide to donate from my website or elsewhere, please make note of the fact that your intent is for the sefer.

Thank you!
