TorahWorks is the effort of Rabbi Ben-Tzion Spitz to expose a broad audience of people to classic Jewish texts.

Some of the content includes a weekly “Torah Shorts”, a short essay based on the commentary of one of the classic Jewish commentators on the weekly Torah reading.

In addition, we have Daily Torah Tweets on a variety of texts including Torah (Parsha), Mishna, Talmud (DafYomi), Maimondes (Rambam) and more.

There are also links to biblical fictions stories (written and audio), books, other articles, resources and more.

Enjoy!
