At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Tiffany and Moish Lehrer began seriously considering relocating their family of six.

In 2006, TorahAnytime launched into a world that barely understood what online video even meant. YouTube was in its infancy, smartphones were not yet part of daily life, and the idea that people would one day listen to Torah classes on demand from anywhere in the world felt almost unrealistic. Back then, if you missed a shiur, you missed it. If you wanted to review something or share it with your family at the Shabbos table, you relied on memory or handwritten notes. TorahAnytime was created to solve that problem by giving people direct access to Torah whenever and wherever they needed it.
