TorahAnytime.com is an organization started by two Bukharian Jews in Queens, NY. Shimon and Reuven KaylYakov saw a need for their friends and family to be able to watch lectures given in their community. Over time, they received more and more requests for speakers and Rabbis and the website has been growing every since. TorahAnytime.com records Jewish lectures worldwide and uploads them to our website ofor the entire world to watch for free.
Why do we do this? There are number of reasons:
- Many people would like the opportunity to review a Shiur, watching it a second or third time to give them a better understanding of it.
- Jews around the world now have the opportunity to watch lectures they normally would have never seen.
- The sick and elderly often cannot leave their homes due to conditions beyond their control.
- Sometimes people can't make it to a Shiur because of other numerous commitments (weddings, yorzites, meetings, family responsibilities, unexpected events and many other reasons).
- Mothers are often unable to attend due to a lack of (or inability to afford) babysitters.
Currently, we have over 5,300 videos by over 180 different speaker - we record up to 60 lectures per week; with close to 100,000/monthly visits, in over 65 countries, and all these statistics are rapidly growing!
We record as many shiurim as our budget allows. We take these recordings and post them on the Internet for other Jews around the world to watch on TorahAnyTime.com. They have the option to stream the video, download the video, or have an audio only file.
We know that there are lectures currently being delivered on Torah subjects all over the world and we want to be able to record these hundreds of lectures in all languages. Hundreds of lectures a month, all for the world to share and watch -- an ultimate worldwide Yeshiva!
