Project TABS

TheTorah.com is the flagship website of Project TABS (Torah and Biblical Scholarship), a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization. Founded in 2012, Project TABS solicits original works of scholarship from noted academics, intellectuals and rabbis from across the world. These works are published on Project TABS’ websites, TheTorah.com and TheGemara.com.
Our essays offer unique and varying perspectives on the weekly Torah portion, Jewish holidays and other topics including the religious interface with biblical criticism. New articles are added to the site each week.
If you benefit from our work, please consider supporting us.

Website

As of September 2019, our website has been completely revamped. Here is a brief tour of what’s new:

• Torah Portion Pages - Every Torah portion now has its own page, with info on the parasha, featured topics, and a list of all essays on the parasha.
• The Five Books - Pages for each of the Five Books of the Torah are organized around topics found in each book, with links to the Torah portions.
• Holiday Pages - Essays on each of the holidays are organized and easily navigable by topic.
• Scholarship and Faith - We now have pages with collected essays on Biblical Criticism, Modern Faith, Archaeology, Morality & Ethics, and more, highlighting academic scholarship as well as thought pieces grappling with faith and religious observance.
• Individual Author Pages - Authors each have their own pages, including bio, their articles on TheTorah.com, and books written by the author.
• Inline Footnotes - In addition to having the footnotes at the end of the article, you can view them as you read (desktop: on hover, mobile: on tap).
• Article Topics - Articles are now tagged with related topics, which you can drill into and view other articles on that topic.
• Browse Topics - You can browse and discover all topics on a single page.
• Search - Research any subject easily with our improved search feature.
• Citation Tool - Cite our articles in SBL and APA format.

We hope you enjoy the new site as much as we do. If you have any feedback, we’d love to hear from you.
