For the first time, the entire Babylonian Talmud appears on the internet - in the original Vilna edition format. Rabbi Dovid Kraus and Josh Itzkowitz of Hillside, New Jersey created and executed the idea over an eight-month period, scanning each of the more than 5,400 pages of the Talmud into .gif files and uploading them onto the internet (e-daf.com). Rabbi Kraus informed Arutz-7 that when he realized that the Talmud's text was available on the internet, but not in the format to which most Talmud students are accustomed, he decided to make his contribution: "Josh Itzkowitz then took upon himself this labor of love, and his merits are being racked up by the minute, as E-Daf is being used all the time, from all over the world... The first time I viewed the list of all the far-off places where people were signing on from, I cried with tears of happiness." The site is also accessible from the dafyomi.org site, which contains a collection of resources for learning the Daf Yomi, the daily page of Talmud studied worldwide.
