  1. I’m not familiar with Otzar HaHochma, but there is a free website called sefaria.org that also has 1000’s of seforim. From chumash through mussar and chasideshe seforim. One of the things I like about sefaria is the cross-referencing. For example, last week I was learning a gemara in Pesachem. When you scroll on those lines a sidebar comes up with a list of meforsim, halacha, other gemoros etc. related to this gemara. One of the meforshim I opened wrote something which was cross-referenced to the mussar sefer Orchas Tzadikim. It was extremely helpful for me to see what he wrote. Zeit Gezunt.

    • That’s like saying you can’t go into a seforim store because they sell books you don’t approve of. These kefira books you mention happen to be in a separate section. I have been using Sefaria for many years I find it especially helpful to write chidushai Torah and the like.

  2. I have Sefaria, I love it. But be careful about it if you do your research you’ll see that there are some left wing people involved. ( I’m talking Conservative).
