Most people still hold an outdated picture of what chassidim bring to business and branding.

Small thinking, limited creativity, old-school execution.

Then work like this appears.

And the stereotype collapses on the spot.

My close friend Yaniv Vaknin led this project.

And what he produced is world-class.

Not because it’s flashy, but because it’s disciplined, intentional, and conceptually sharp.

This isn’t my company and I’m not promoting it.

I’m just acknowledging excellence when I see it.

And this is excellence.

It shows something powerful.

Chassidic culture doesn’t hold you back from high-level creative work.

It fuels it.

It adds depth, purpose, and a sense of mission you can’t imitate.

When rooted values meet elite craft, the result speaks for itself.

Clear thinking.

Bold identity.

A design system with precision and personality.

A site that competes with heavyweight agencies without apologizing for where it comes from.

The world keeps expecting less.

Work like this quietly proves more.

Respect to Yaniv Vaknin.

This is how you break a stereotype and level up an entire conversation.

The new MOTG website is live: https://www.motg.com

About a year ago, Isaac Eidlisz entrusted me with leading our agency rebrand. I’ve had the privilege of being behind every step since, working day in, day out to translate Isaac’s big vision into our most important public touchpoint: our agency website. Rebranding your own agency is brutally hard, much harder than client work, because you have to look in the mirror, push yourself to define what you do differently, why you’re in this to begin with, and the exact brand positioning and perception you’re aiming to earn. That’s the work we took on first.

We set out to build a site that makes a Kiddush Hashem in the Jewish kosher branding and marketing world, no less than the big agency names. Because we Yidden deserve to be on the map, and to glorify Hashem’s name through excellent, world-class design.

What made this hard and worthwhile wasn’t just design. First, we had to articulate a company culture that already lived inside leadership’s mind and give it a clear verbal + visual identity anchored by a conceptual basis strong enough to drive everything else. 

Then came the question: how do you present that identity on an agency site in a way that expresses how we think, showcases the work and the people, and reveals the process without outshining our clients? Striking that balance between distinct and neutral was its own design problem.

From there, we engineered the UI/UX, sitemap, navigation, and user journeys until the flow felt inevitable. Even the photography had to be designed, tone, light, and color calibrated to the personality of the brand, because images speak culture as loudly as words.

On the site you’ll meet our operating system and founding principle, "Predict The Unexpected". It shapes how we design projects, structure our team, and deliver results. More than strategy meeting design we needed strategy to form a company culture, a shared mindset that organizes how we think and work together. 

You’ll also notice our signature “/” (slash symbol), the core element guiding the entire UI/UX. It connects ideas, moves you through content, and turns navigation into a living breathing system in a single precise stroke.

Synagogues — and any Jewish institution that has community.

I’m Sinai. 

We built MemorizPlus. Hundreds of communities in Israel use it. The U.S. rollout is filling fast.

3 months free if you sign by Dec 31. No catch. Just time to onboard memorial sites and see the value.

What it is?

 • White-label community memorial wall
 • Individual memorial sites (bio, photos, video, audio, docs)
 • Automated Yahrzeit reminders
 • Human moderation - nothing publishes without approval
 • Optional TV/display mode - families control their pages

Simple price
 0–150 memorials = $1,500 / year → ≈ $10 / memorial (at 150)

Clear ROI — exact math (assume 50 memorial sites)
 • Platform cost = $1,500 / year → $30 / site (50 sites)
 • Charge your member $50 / site / year → $2,500 revenue → $1,000 net
 • Charge your member $100 / site / year → $5,000 revenue → $3,500 net
Upside: fill 150 sites → $7,500 revenue → $6,000 net — real funds for programs, staff, or a TV.

Quick share… because I’m genuinely excited about this.

A close friend of mine just launched something I think a lot of people quietly need.

If you’re freelancing, consulting, building a side-hustle, or juggling multiple clients… you already know the truth:

Most of us lose money simply because we don’t track our time properly.
He felt that pain himself — and instead of complaining, he built a solution: MinuteShark.

Think Toggl, but cleaner, faster, and actually built for people who switch projects all day long.

No heavy setup. No bloated features. No friction.

Just a simple way to capture every billable minute across clients, projects, and tasks.

And here’s the part I love:

He’s offering a full free month right now. No catches.

Not because he needs signups…

But because early users help him shape the product into something world-class.

If you want to support someone doing real work — and maybe stop losing money you should’ve billed — check it out:

👉 https://minuteshark.com/

Try it. Break it. Use it.

It’ll help him.

It’ll help you even more.
