Mishnah For Every Neshama

The Steinsaltz Center is undertaking the English translation of Rabbi Steinsaltz's elucidated Mishnah, which is one of the cornerstones of Jewish knowledge. Due to the tragic October 7 th massacres and the subsequent “Iron Swords” war, we have embarked on a special campaign to honor the memory and preserve the legacy of our precious, brave fallen IDF soldiers. The entire Seder Taharot will be dedicated specifically to their memories. This effort toward completing the Mishnah, thereby making its study accessible to all, will stand to the credit of our fallen IDF soldiers, as an eternal elevation for their souls.The word “Mishnah” משנה shares the same Hebrew letters as “Neshama” -נשמה soul, alluding to the spiritual connection between the pursuit of knowledge and the soul. By dedicating chapters of the Mishnah, you will have a part in the elevation of the departed souls of our dear IDF soldiers. Now, through the Mishnah for Every Neshama campaign, you can take an active role in bringing Torah to the people, while commemorating those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Supporters who partner in the Mishnah for Every Neshama campaign and dedicate at least one Mishnah in honor of fallen IDF soldiers will receive a name dedication in the completed Seder Taharot of the Steinsaltz Mishnah.
