About PocketTorah

PocketTorah is designed to help you learn the weekly Torah and Haftarah portion anywhere, at any time for free.

This project was made possible thanks to the generous support of the Jewish New Media Innovation Fund

The app includes:
- The entire text of the Torah and Haftarah in Hebrew and translation.
- On Demand Audio: With a simple click or touch of any verse number the corresponding Hebrew with proper trope is chanted, while the corresponding text is highlighted.
- Tikkun View – With a touch you can choose whether you want to see the Hebrew as vowelized text or as it appears in the Torah with crowns and without vowels.
