## About the project

The "Be'or HaTorah" site was built for the **HaBanim association** as a social network in the world of Torah learning.

The platform is **connected to an API that pulls all the verses**. Every visitor can learn the different interpretations of a verse — and **give their own commentary**, explaining where it comes from, whether a particular book or a well-known rabbi.

Each author is **ranked automatically** by the number of reads their commentary receives, and the site dynamically showcases the leading commentaries to generate interaction around them.
