Short, narrated stories about the people who carried Jewish history forward, told to modest visual standards and closing on a clear moral — for families to watch together, in English and in Hebrew.

For families
Stories are written primarily for ages 7–12, with a smaller number suitable for teenagers. Each story page states a recommended age — it is a guide for you, not a lock on the video.
Every story aims for visual modesty, respectful treatment of sacred subjects, and careful language. Each story page names its historical period so you can see, at a glance, whether an account is closer to recorded history or to a traditional retelling.
A number of stories touch on themes such as illness, loss, or hardship. Where that's the case, it is flagged plainly on the story's own page, so you can decide in advance rather than being surprised mid-story.
There are no child accounts, no public profiles, no comments, and no messaging on this site. Nothing about your children is collected or sold.
Beyond this website
No single way of watching reaches every family, so we plan to offer several routes over time. Availability grows story by story as the catalogue fills in.
Ask your filter provider to approve storiesforthesoul.com. We are submitting the site for review to the common Jewish content-filtering services (NetFree, GenTech and Netspark); if your provider needs anything from us, write to [email protected].
Every story is also narrated as audio, for families who would rather not watch video, for car journeys, and for listening at bedtime. Follow in whichever app you already use and each new story arrives on its own.

A telephone listening line and offline USB/printed-catalogue editions are being considered once the catalogue reaches a reasonable size. Each story's permanent number (e.g. “Story 050”) is designed so it can double as a future telephone code.
The project
Every generation passes something that feeds the soul on to the one after it — a story, a teaching, a way of living. This collection gathers short, modestly told stories about the people who carried that inheritance forward, for families to watch, listen to, and discuss together, free of charge, in English and Hebrew.
