In a move that is reshaping the landscape of Jewish education, TorahVR has officially launched GenesisVR, the first experience in its highly anticipated Parsha Series.
While the technology is cutting-edge, the goal is timeless: bringing the weekly Parsha to life. The platform is already being hailed as the new “gold standard” for Jewish day schools, with over 70 schools globally, including many schools in Crown Heights and Chabad Mosdos elsewhere, integrating it into their weekly curriculum.
For educators, the challenge has always been competing for student attention in a digital age. TorahVR solves this not by fighting technology, but by harnessing it.
Rabbi JJ Duchman, Director of Experiential Learning at Harkham Hillel Academy in Los Angeles, piloted the Bereishis experience with his students. He notes that the value goes far beyond entertainment: “It was so refreshing to see our students excited, upbeat, and motivated to engage in a completely different format of education. They walked out with ‘wows,’ and just hearing their voices and seeing their expressions was amazing. It really highlights the immersive experiential power that education can have.”
The TorahVR platform is quickly cementing itself as an essential tool for Jewish Day Schools worldwide, merging the timeless wisdom of the Torah with the most advanced interactive technology available, in the 40 VR experiences produced to date.
The launch follows the success of the Beis Hamikdash Series and the Jewish Holiday series, now staples in classrooms worldwide. The early data from GenesisVR is compelling for any school:
95% of students surveyed requested to continue learning the Parsha this way.
Zero distractions: The immersive environment ensures 100% focus on the lesson.
Top Request: Students simply wanted the lessons to be longer—a rarity in modern education.
This monumental launch was made possible by a generous grant from The Shul of Bal Harbour, dedicated in honor of the legacy of Rabbi Sholom Ber Lipskar OBM.
Rabbi Lipskar was a visionary who believed deeply in reaching every Jew with love and innovation. He famously championed new methods to make Torah accessible. The sponsorship of GenesisVR is a fitting tribute to his life’s work, ensuring his passion for Jewish education inspires the next generation in a format that literally speaks their language.
TorahVR continues to operate on the Rebbe’s fundamental principle that “Every new frontier, every technological development, must be harnessed, with the greatest care, in order to share Torah’s timeless truth.”
With rave reviews pouring in from principals, teachers, and students, GenesisVR is proving that when it comes to Torah education, the sky is no longer the limit.
