Double the Images! JEM Supercharges Popular Face Recognition Tool
Imagine discovering a never-before-seen photo of yourself, a loved one, or a friend—standing before the Rebbe.
That’s exactly what thousands have already experienced through Jewish Educational Media (JEM)’s groundbreaking Face Recognition tool. Today, JEM is unveiling a major expansion to the platform; now offering over 500,000 searchable photos along with new features that make the tool more powerful, accurate, and meaningful than ever.
The most notable change? The number of searchable images has nearly doubled—to over half a million—vastly expanding the range of possible encounters with the Rebbe. From Private Audiences, Kos Shel Bracha, and Lekach distributions, to Farbrengens, stills from Sunday Dollars videos, and other public events, the newly added content dramatically increases the likelihood of uncovering a meaningful moment.
“A few days after my aunt’s shiva, we found her picture thanks to JEM’s incredible Face Recognition tool.”
— Rav Shlomo Katz
In addition to the expanded collection, the tool includes several key upgrades that improve both performance and ease of use. Advanced filters let users narrow results by year, location, or event type, helping them zero in on exactly what they’re hoping to find. Behind the scenes, technical enhancements make matches more dependable across a wide range of image types. And with the new Easy Sharing feature, photos can be instantly shared with friends or family—even if they aren’t members.
“My father always told me about the times I was by the Rebbe, but until last night, I had never seen an image of any encounter. That all changed thanks to JEM’s Face Recognition tool.”
— Yehuda Honickman
The Face Recognition tool remains free to use, offering up to four photo results per search. JEM members can unlock much more, 10, 20, or even 100 results, along with full search filters and the ability to save your search results for future use.
This cutting-edge service is part of JEM’s mission to give every individual direct access to the Rebbe. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, JEM opens a new window, offering people around the world the chance to uncover images from encounters they always remembered but had never seen.
Your Moment is Waiting
Whether you personally experienced a moment with the Rebbe at Lekach, Dollars, a farbrengen, or know someone who was—there’s a good chance your photo is waiting to be found.
Here’s how:
– Visit: JEM.tv/photoai
– Upload a clear photo of yourself or a loved one
Tip: If you have a beard now but didn’t back then—like when you were younger—try uploading a photo from that time for better results.
– Explore the results
– Share, print, or even request video footage
A hidden treasure may be waiting for you.
Bonus Tip: If you find one good match, use a snipping tool to capture it. Uploading that cropped image will yield more accurate matches.
