The Talmud is now online: For the first time, the entire text of the Babylonian Talmud as it appears in the standard Vilna edition is now available on-line thanks to a website called E-Daf.

The site, conceived by Rabbi Dovid Kraus, contains all 2,711 pages of the Talmud, which are laid out using precisely the same format as printed versions of the text (known in Hebrew as Tzurat HaDaf).

Users can download or print out the desired page for free, enabling them to study at their convenience, even when they travel. In addition, the site contains links to English-language Talmud classes
