The Mesorah Heritage Foundation was created to "unlock the vault." Our goal is to remove the language barrier and make the riches of Jewish eternity available to English-speaking Jews. Here is what we do: Sponsor literature that celebrates the rich Jewish heritage; create works of intensive scholarship and unexcelled beauty; and produce books that will be read, studied, and cherished for generations. We recruit accomplished translators, scholars, writers, and editors who free our great texts from the captivity of ancient languages and bring them to English-speaking Jews in books that are beautifully produced and literarily graceful.
