929 is the name of a project dedicated to creating a global Jewish conversation around issues that unite and divide us, but always inspired by the text. מיזם 929 מזמין אותך לקרוא תנך בעיניים חדשות: פרק אחד, כל יום, לפי הסדר. כולם קוראים יחד, וכל אחד ואחת לחוד. באפליקציה, באתר או עם תנך ביד; עם חברים, עם ילדים או כאתגר אישי. בכל יום מתחלף הפרק היומי באפליקציה ובאתר, ומופיע בליווי פרשנויות מגוונות, תקציר, פרטי מידע, סרטונים, תמונות, וגם קריינות של הפרק למי שמעדיף להאזין לו. באפליקציה אפשר להגדיר תזכורות קריאה אישיות - יומיות או פעם בשבוע, בשעות הנוחות לך. אפשר גם לעקוב ולקבל תזכורת בכל פעם שעולה טור של כותב אהוב. את המיזם מלווים בכירי היוצרים והיוצרות בישראל, אנשי רוח, דת, תרבות ואמנות.
