Challenges
Following Rabbi Steinsaltz's passing, the Steinsaltz Center needed a way to keep his life's work alive and accessible for a new generation of learners. His elucidations — spanning the entire Talmud — existed in print but had no unified digital home. The platform needed to:
- Deliver daily study content in a structured, easy-to-follow format
- Make one of the most significant Torah works of the 20th century accessible to learners of all levels
- Support consistent daily engagement through reminders and study tracking
- Serve a global audience across both mobile and web
