A living well
of inner Torah.
Turn SHARE's growing universe of Torah for spiritual growth into a living knowledge system—one that helps each person draw precisely the wisdom they are looking for.
From a collection
to a field of knowledge.
SHARE has begun assembling a carefully curated body of Torah concerned with spiritual growth, inner life, and practical human flourishing. Some of it is produced by SHARE and its partners; some may be selected from the wider world because it belongs in this field. The challenge is to define that field, map what belongs within it, and make the whole body intelligible and discoverable as it grows.
“I want a super cool library… where you can find what you're looking for. We've got transcripts. It should be AI-searchable.”Michael Englander · SHARE working session · July 15, 2026
Define the field.
Build the foundation.
V1 does more than organize a fixed archive. Through the corpus map and ontology, it gives SHARE a durable way to articulate what its content universe is today—and what should or should not enter it tomorrow. The system is designed for roughly 200 current videos and 80 articles, approximately 300 additional videos anticipated over the next year, and selected external material that SHARE decides belongs.
Corpus map
A reliable inventory of SHARE-produced, partner-produced, and selected external videos, transcripts, articles, scholars, sources, rights, and metadata.
SHARE ontology
A strategic definition of the field: its topics, teachers, texts, traditions, spiritual needs, audiences, depth, formats, boundaries, and relationships.
Knowledge graph
Content represented as connected ideas and relationships, with provenance back to the original source and timestamp.
Living ingestion
A repeatable supported intake path that normalizes new content, extracts structure, links entities, and updates the graph.
AI librarian
A model-agnostic guide that answers, recommends, explains the fit, and cites the underlying video, passage, or article.
Handoff system
Editable ontology, architecture, evaluation set, curatorial guidance, operator runbook, and a sequenced V2 roadmap.
A focused path
from intake to proof.
The sprint moves from source truth to a functioning experience, with stakeholder decisions and evaluation built into the work.
Intake & definition
Corpus audit, stakeholder interviews, user questions, success criteria, ontology draft.
Ontology & pipeline
Schema, normalization, extraction, provenance, and first assets in the graph.
Graph & retrieval
Pilot population, hybrid retrieval, source grounding, incremental updates.
Librarian
Chat/search reference interface, recommendations, explanations, citations.
Harden & hand off
Evaluation, live ingestion test, runbook, demonstration, V2 workshop.
A V1 that can be
used and extended.
The sprint succeeds when SHARE can see the system work end to end, understand its limits, and confidently choose what to build next.

Turn the foundation
into a product strategy.
V2 is intentionally unpriced. Once the field and its underlying content are visible, the next task is to learn whom the library should serve first, how it should meet them, and how SHARE should present it.
Define the relationship among SHARE, the library, partner collections, and possible white-label expressions—without prematurely locking the architecture to one brand.
Identify and prioritize the first audiences by spiritual need, Jewish literacy, life stage, teacher affinity, and desired depth.
Interview prospective learners, existing SHARE participants, scholars, and partners to understand the problems they are actually trying to solve.
Put the librarian before a small, carefully selected group; observe what they seek, where retrieval fails, and what makes them return.
Translate the research into clear use cases—from immediate inspiration and practical guidance to deeper study—and decide what interface deserves to be built.
Use search behavior and customer feedback to identify corpus gaps, refine curatorial boundaries, guide future production and selection, and shape a measured launch plan.
