About
Who we are.
Unity Through Torah is a small not-for-profit that makes free apps for the daily shiurim. That's the whole of what we do.
Why we made it
Between Chitas, Rambam, Sefer HaMitzvos and the rest, the shiurim are spread over a few seforim, a few apps and a few websites. Each one has its own idea of where you stopped, and none of them know what the others are showing. Before you learn anything you spend a few minutes finding your place.
That few minutes is what makes a seder hard to hold onto. So we put the shiurim in one place, opened each one on today's, and made it remember where you were.
Free, and made properly
Nobody should have to pay to learn Chitas. We don't charge, we don't run ads, and we don't sell anything about the people who use it.
But free is often an excuse for a scanned PDF that can't be resized, a luach that's wrong in a shanah me'uberes, and an app that forgets your place. A sefer you open every day for years has to be comfortable to read. The fonts, the layout, the nikud, the sizes — for something used daily, that isn't decoration, it's most of what makes it usable.
How we work
- Free to whoever is learning. No ads, no subscriptions.
- The text comes first. We keep attribution and licensing conditions intact.
- No streaks, no reminders designed to make you feel guilty, no counting anything at anyone.
- We don't sell information about people who use our apps.
- We say what's finished and what isn't, including on this website.
The name
The daily shiurim have something most learning doesn't: a lot of people are on the same words on the same day. Whoever learns today's Rambam is learning what thousands of others are learning today, not by arrangement but because that's the cycle. That's where the name comes from.
Where things stand
We're new. Kavua is finished and in use; the other things on the front page are marked as being built or planned, which is what they are. We don't publish usage numbers or haskamos, because we'd have to make them up.
Contact
Everything goes through the form and a person reads it. We don't put an email address on the site — it gets scraped and buried in junk within a week, and then real messages get lost.
