The complex is operated using the Wiki media system, and is based mostly on the contents of the Hebrew Wikipedia. Unlike the wiki sites that are operated and budgeted under the auspices of the Wikimedia Foundation, the complex site, which was launched on January 11, 2015, is managed and operated by the Torah Wisdom Institute, which was founded for the purpose of establishing and developing the site, and the high operating cost is paid only by the institute, and is based on private donations and various entities.
In 2014, Rabbi Yosef Kaminer founded the Torah Wisdom Institute, within which the website will be produced. The complex was established in 1995 with the aim of being an alternative address for the Torah-observant public, and especially for the ultra-Orthodox public, which avoids using Wikipedia due to the many problems found in it. The goal of the founders is to present encyclopedic content to the public from an ultra-Orthodox point of view, both by copying free content from Wikipedia and adapting it to the ultra-Orthodox discourse As it is perceived by the Torah Wisdom Institute, and through an independent creation of values New, mainly in Jewish content and related content. The site's creators point out on the site that "the complex is a project to create the largest Jewish encyclopedia in history, which includes all the Torah values, the Halacha and the legend, all the values of Judaism and the history of the people of Israel, as well as all the human knowledge that exists in all fields Hulin - in a clean language and in accordance with a Jewish point of view."
Like Wikipedia, which is the parent enterprise from which the complex derives its inspiration, its technical and design infrastructure and its initial contents, the complex also relies on the idea of the wisdom of the masses and allows every surfer to participate in editing. Unlike Wikipedia, the content as a whole is not free, the rights to the content contributed by the editors are reserved to the Institute, except as far as the content originating from Wikipedia is concerned, submitted under the C-C 3.0 Attribution-Share Alike License, subject to the original Wikipedia license. Unlike Wikipedia, where the policy of the Wikimedia Foundation, which operates the project, is to give users complete independence in managing the site and making decisions about content, editorial freedom as a whole is limited to "normal" content that does not concern a religious worldview, the decision on the writing policy regarding such content is subject to the decisions of a special steering team on behalf of the institute and it is done subject to the direction of a spiritual committee.
During the time of the existence of the complex, the number of users increased over time, with a significant leap starting from the month of Tamuz 1978, when the "Netfri" filter began to automatically transfer its users from a link to an entry in the Hebrew Wikipedia, to the corresponding entry on the website of the complex. The transfer of surfers to the site of the complex helped to increase significantly Significantly increased the number of site users, and as a result also significantly increased the site's ranking according to Alexa.
Another leap forward was during the Corona crisis in Israel, when many people needed access to the Internet, and then a portal: Corona was established as a whole, which doubled the number of monthly surfers on the site within a few months.
Another exposure factor for the complex is the possibility of downloading the complex application from the application stores of the filtering companies for smartphones.
In February 2021, the management of the complex launched the content of the site in a ZIM file that allows viewing the contents of the complex even without a network connection, using the kiwix software. The file (which now exists in a version without images) is available for download on a dedicated page, and thus the "complex" also provides an answer to ultra-Orthodox consumers without access to the online network, and is a substitute for the Hebrew Wikipedia even when used offline.
The funding for the complex website, which includes the cost of operating the servers and programming the platform, comes from the Torah Wisdom Institute headed by Rabbi Yosef Kaminer, from the day the complex was established, beginning in 2023, sponsorships of commercial companies such as Tnuva and more appear in the complex.
