My name is Elozar Dovid Fridmann. I grew up in Lakewood, NJ. I studied in Eretz Yisrael at Heichal HaTorah for three years under Hagaon Harav Tzvi Kushelevsky Shlita. Following that, I learned at Beth Medrash Govoha (BMG) for three years and then dedicated six years to obtaining my smicha, with a focus on Issur V'Heter and Hilchos Shabbos.

I don't think I am qualified for this, but this project started as a way to create engaging learning material to involve my kids and leverage my graphic design background. It wasn't meant to be for the public. A few rabbanim and teachers requested the material and encouraged me to bring this to the public. If it helps one person, that would be enough reward for me.

I truly enjoy teaching Torah to others and found that by adding graphic design and laying out the concepts in a logical, clear format, making it engaging and practical was something that gave me purpose. Helping others get closer to Hashem through these materials has become my passion.

I try to ensure that before I write something, I check it with a Sefer and verify that the sources come from authentic sources, starting with the Gemara and moving to Midrashim and Meforshim. The goal is not to take someone through the rabbit hole but instead to give them clear basic fundamentals and make it practical.

B"H I am a frum Jew who values all of Klal Yisroel. I grew up in France where my grandparents were moser nefesh to open the only religious school in our area. I spent most of my life in Lakewood, NJ and currently live in North Miami Beach. While I learned in traditional Litvish yeshivas, I've been fortunate to spend time with Sefardim, Ashkenazim, Chassidim, Chabad, and Israelis. This diverse experience has given me a unique perspective. My materials are deliberately designed to be universal—I avoid politics and try to make content suitable for everyone.

Rather than overwhelming readers with the various opinions from different poskim, I focus on providing a solid foundation based on my Ashkenazic learning background. My goal is to establish clear fundamentals first, and I encourage readers to explore the nuances of their own mesorah through the Shulchan Aruch and poskim that align with their particular background once they've built that foundation.

This work is for Hashem, not politics, and all of Klal Yisroel are His children regardless of their differences.

On the surface, these materials are designed for children starting from age 7, but the concept of "vehigadta" extends to parents who may not have had these subjects taught to them properly and need clear guidance in engaging their children. From my observation, this has been a significant challenge, especially with the laws of Shabbos.

The materials are also beneficial for those newer to observance, including baalei teshuva and gerim, though I prefer not to label anyone specifically.

Currently, the only printed material we offer is the Gedolim Pictures. All educational materials are delivered as downloadable PDF files. While I plan to offer printing services in the future, the current approach helps keep costs low, allowing users to either read the materials on a tablet or computer or print them at home as needed.

Yes, I intend to provide a weekly sheet for parents to engage their children on Shabbos, with content for each meal that discusses the parasha and specific halacha topics. I also plan to release other free material when time permits and when I feel the quality meets my standards.
