The Hidden Light Institute, in partnership with the Begin Heritage Center, has developed the momentous Begin Legacy Initiative comprising the documentary UPHEAVAL: The Journey of Menachem Begin, the annual Begin Symposium, and multiple educational workstreams targeting various audiences worldwide. Our goal is not only to bring to life a true and underrecognized "profile in courage" but also to use the film and future films to educate and empower young and future generations on great Jewish leaders and the story of Israel to combat antisemitism.

Our Mission
We create documentaries on Jewish and Israeli figures and events to educate various demographics and generations on Jewish culture and history.
Our Cause
We have one name, translated twice: The Hidden Light Institute and, in Hebrew, Ohr Hatzafun Productions. Jewish teaching holds that when God created the heavens and the earth, and said 'let there be light', the light existed only for thirty-six hours before it was hidden (Berakhot 8:5). As long as this light is hidden, we are compelled to find it—to bring light to darkness.
