Jewish Philosophy, Daily Study
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The complete Kuzari in six languages, with audio in Hebrew and English, Rabbi AI answers as you read, and study plans that take you through the whole book.
The Kuzari (Sefer HaKuzari) is Rabbi Yehuda Halevi's classic work on Jewish faith, written around the year 1140. It is built as a dialogue. The King of the Khazars sets out to find the true way to serve God, puts his questions to a philosopher and to the scholars of other faiths, and finally turns to the Rabbi, whose answers unfold across five essays. This app brings the whole book into your daily learning, section by section.
THE COMPLETE BOOK
All five essays of the Kuzari, section by section, with the classic numbering kept intact, so you can find and cite any passage the way it appears in print.

- English, the Hirschfeld translation
- Spanish, the classic Abendana translation of 1663
- German, the Cassel translation of 1869

Switch languages as you read, or set the one you want and stay in it.
LISTEN WHILE YOU LEARN
Built-in text to speech reads the Kuzari aloud in Hebrew or in English, so you can keep learning while you walk, drive, or rest your eyes.
DAILY STUDY PLANS
Two study plans are built in: a journey in five parts through the entire book, one essay at a time, and a 21 part plan that takes you through the first essay topic by topic, at a steady pace instead of opening the book once and putting it down.
ASK AS YOU READ
Rabbi AI is a study companion built into the app. Ask what a passage means, what the King is really asking, or how one idea connects to the rest of the book.
MADE FOR REAL LEARNING
- Notes and highlights on any section
- Bookmarks that take you back to where you stopped
- Day and night reading modes
- The full text is stored on your device, so you can learn with no connection
WHO IT IS FOR
Yeshiva and seminary students learning Machshava, students of Jewish philosophy, baalei teshuva building their foundations, and any reader who wants to see how Judaism answers the deepest questions about faith, revelation, and peoplehood.
WHAT THE KUZARI IS ABOUT
The revelation at Sinai, and why it stands apart from private religious experience. Prophecy and its bond with the Land of Israel. The standing of the Jewish people among the nations. The names of God, Elohim and the four letter Name, and what each one reveals. The reasons behind the commandments. Nearly nine hundred years later, these are still the questions people bring to Jewish faith.
FREE AND PREMIUM
The app is free to download, and the full text of the Kuzari is free to read in every language. An optional Premium subscription supports development and unlocks extended Rabbi AI conversations.
The app interface is available in English, Hebrew, Spanish, German, and Arabic.
