Torah.org

Torah.org
Shalom, and welcome to the Project Genesis Web Site -- your Torah Cyberspace Center! Via the Internet we're reaching thousands each week with our Jewish educational material, and we hope that our range of Torah archives, and our popular e-mail classes will meet your interests.
Project Genesis is a new and innovative organization, and one of the fastest-growing Jewish outreach programs today.
Project Genesis promotes further Jewish education about our Jewish roots, as represented in Jewish sources. Project Genesis believes that this is the best way to restore self-respect, self-confidence, and an interest in our own continuity, among modern Jewish collegiates and unaffiliated Jews worldwide. Project Genesis works to establish a strong Jewish identity, expand Jewish knowledge, and encourage its participants to become more involved with Judaism and the Jewish community.
