Five teachers carry most of it. Rabbi Yirmiyahu Ullman goes through Orchot Tzaddikim one middah at a time - jealousy, flattery, fear of Heaven, Torah - and through Tomer Devorah and the Ramchal's essay on fundamentals (130 classes). Rabbi Reuven Lauffer's Basic Judaism walks through prayer, food, Friday night, the Shabbat candles and Erev Pesach, with his Chumash Insights on the parsha (195). Rabbi Guy Matalon teaches Mesilat Yesharim chapter by chapter, The Way of God, the Kuzari, the Rambam on teshuva and the Book of Ruth (109). Rabbi David Kaplan gives the weekly Torah portion parsha by parsha (204), and Rabbi Dr. David Gottlieb's Jewish philosophy takes on free will, the objections to evolution and the questions an atheist asks (178).

Beside them stand Rabbi Akiva Fox's 13 Principles of Jewish Faith (43 classes); talks for Tisha B'Av and the Three Weeks by Rabbi Yitzchok Oelbaum, Rabbi Benzion Shafier, Rabbi Avraham Rockmill, Rabbi Nachshon Schiller and others, with Rabbi Noam Lesser reading Megillat Eicha (62); classes for Shabbat and the festivals, among them Rabbi Nachum Chaimowitz's laws of Shabbat (169); Kabbalah and the holy letters - Rabbi Uriel Abramov's preface to the Kabbalah of Rabbi Chaim Vital and Rabbi Yaakov Marcus's mystical letters Aleph, Bet and Hei (62); and marriage and the home - Rabbi Yirmiyahu Abramov's Our Family, Our Strength, Rabbi Benzion Shafier's twelve-part Marriage Seminar and Rabbi Daniel Schonbuch's questions and answers (104).

The most-watched class here is Rabbi Akiva Tatz's "Kabbalah: The Spiritual Core of the World", from 2015 - nearly 75,000 times.
