Spiritual ’Toons
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
Rabbi Tzvi Freeman, creator of the new online videos KabbalaToons, envisioned the one-minute segments as perfect for today’s on-the-go society. “It’s spirituality for people who live life in the fast lane,” he told The Shmooze.
The cartoon series, which launched recently on www.Chabad.org, stars a bearded, blue-robed Rabbi Infinity — an animated kabbalist who imparts snippets of wisdom intended to help viewers live more meaningful, spiritual lives.
A new episode is posted on the Web site each week. Freeman explained that the messages in the cartoons are not just Jewish but also universal. “It’s for human beings,” he said.

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
