Explore our online Siddur, Torah, Tanakh, Tehillim, and so much more.
We are taking the People of the Book into the digital age, and with just 500 MB you can download the entire library to access all texts offline.
Our interface is simple and user-friendly: delve deep into the texts with the swipe of a finger. Get information on specific topics, such as Passover - the next holiday on our calendar, Daf Yomi, search using keywords, or browse the table of contents to explore texts, translations, and commentaries, and explore the connections between works in the library.
Whether you're looking to get a deeper look at the Hebrew Bible, study tehillim, do your Talmud homework, prepare words of Torah for your Shabbat meal, recite the Bedtime Shema with your children, or say Birkat Hamazon after you eat, you've come to the right app. We offer an ever-growing list of translations for key texts, making these textual treasures available to communities around the world. We currently offer works in English, French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Finnish, Portuguese, Persian, Polish, Russian, and Yiddish.
