Structure

* Torah classes given by Rabbis, mostly identified with the Religious Zionism. Some lessons are in audio, some in video, some in text and some with all three types. The lessons are divided by a very extensive and detailed index. Among the topics: Gemara ( he, גמרא), Halacha ( he, הלכה) (''Jewish laws''), faith, Tanach ( he, תנ"ך) (''Bible''), Torah portion ( he, פרשת שבוע), Holidays and more. * Internet TV channel which broadcasts Torah lessons throughout the day. On special occasions it broadcasts conferences and seminars or Q & A sessions with Rabbis. The channel's peak was broadcasting the funeral of Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu Zt"l. This broadcast was also available for the first time on mobile devices. * A library with a large number of books that can be read on - line or downloaded. * A database of thousands of questions, answered by different Religious Zionist Rabbis. The new questions are posted on the home page of the site. Close to Jewish holidays a link is attached to questions relevant to that date. Israeli news websites sometimes look for different Q & A to add to an article.Such as
