The opening as it read in 2025
Via the site, users can query a database of Judaism-related topics or live chat with a rabbi. The site's database includes topics ranging from Israeli history to sexual mores from an Orthodox Jewish-perspective. Live chats are available in English, Russian, Spanish, French, and Hebrew. The website claimed in 2009 that 30% of visitors were non-Jewish, and most of the Jewish visitors were secular. In 2001, the website featured 60 rabbis working 24 hours a day, six days a week. The rabbis did not work on Shabbat . The website's budget of $475,000 was funded by donations. In 2009, the site claimed to surpass one million live chats answered by its staff of approximately 45 Los Angeles-based male and female scholars and educators.
