Masthead
The team behind Unpacked
Noam Weissman, Executive Vice President
Jewish educator, with a background in educational psychology, strange obsession with producing curricula, comparing the best kosher pizzas out there (yes, there are some) and ensuring there is always a dip next to his food, and of course, using the word “nuanced.” Noam ran a high school, founded a curriculum company, is the head of OpenDor Media’s content, but is most proud of his mediocre high school basketball career. And, of course he loves his family.
Eden Cohen, Head of Website and Social Media
Eden leads the website and social media teams at Unpacked, where she brings Jewish stories to life and fosters a deeper understanding of Jewish history and contemporary issues. When she’s not working, Eden tends to her three high-maintenance, elderly animals, travels to Israel as often as possible, and indulges in way too much sugar.
Rivky Stern, Head of Podcasts
Jeff Handel, Head of Video
Jeff is an award-winning filmmaker with over 15 years of experience producing content ranging from commercials and documentaries to feature films exhibited at Sundance & Tribeca. When he isn’t crafting his next story to tell, he spends his free time mastering the art of fermentation (kvass, sauerkraut, kombucha, you name it). He is incredibly excited to continue building the vision of Israel and Jewish edu-tainment at Unpacked.
Baruch Goldberg, Video Editor
Baruch began his career in theater, in a circle of idealistic dreamers looking to make the world a better place (and have some fun). He’s worked on most of Open Dor Media’s documentaries, and prior to that helped an artist create a family of plush characters designed to empower children. Baruch arrived in Israel many years ago for a brief visit following a detour through Syria and Jordan. And he’s still there.
