The website emerges from a print version of "The Israel Bible" published over the past two years and completed this past October. Printed in 20 softcover volumes, "The Israel Bible" includes the entire text of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) in English and Hebrew along with an original Bible commentary on all 929 chapters of the Tanakh. The commentary was developed by ten scholars including leading Israeli educators and tour guides. 
 
TheIsraelBible.com also features many innovations such as interactive Google maps and videos.  Readers are encouraged to comment and contribute to conversations centered around the Biblical text, and the mobile friendly website utilizes gamification techniques by rewarding readers with points so they can advance to the levels of Shepherd, Scribe, Judge, Prophet and King.  "It's our goal to find new ways to use modern technology to bring Israel and the Bible to life," said Rabbi Tuly Weisz, publisher of TheIsraelBible.com.  "I hope that TheIsraelBible.com allows us to share Israel's physical beauty and its great Biblical significance with people all over the world in an exciting, modern way."

Readers of TheIsraelBible.com can also subscribe to free daily or weekly reading plans in order to deepen their study and incorporate Israel into their daily prayer and study times. Subscribers to the Israel Bible reading plans can sign up for any of the books of the Hebrew Bible and receive a chapter delivered via email each day.  As part of its initial launch and promotional campaign, the site is offering a free eBook, "24 Inspirational Verses from the Books of The Israel Bible," for reading plan subscribers.
 
TheIsraelBible.com is intended to appeal to both a Jewish and Christian audience.  The entire text of the Jewish Bible is offered in both English and Hebrew, along with an audio component so readers can hear the Hebrew text.  "While Jews take for granted the fact that the Torah is meant to be heard in Hebrew, for our Christian readers it's a real treat to be able to listen to the Bible in its original language," Weisz said.
