Seder Olam — Jewish Timeline

6,000 years of Jewish history

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

A timeline of Jewish history from Creation to the year 6000 — 587 events and 984 articles on people, places, books and ideas, every date shown together with its source. THE TIMELINE Drag with a finger and the centuries move under your hand. Life spans show who lived alongside whom, and the shape of each bar says what is actually known: recorded years of birth and death, years of reign, or only the years the sources speak of. TIME SLICE Put the marker on any year and see who was alive: the sages and figures of Jewish history, and separately those who lived elsewhere in the world at the same moment. THE CHAIN OF TRANSMISSION The forty links of Maimonides — from Moses to Rav Ashi — the sealing of the Talmud, and the later succession of halakhic authority. Every link is named and grounded. TWO CHRONOLOGIES, HONESTLY Dates follow the count of Seder Olam Rabbah; where academic dating differs, the app says so plainly and gives both figures. A MORNING FACT Once a day your phone shows one "Did you know?" card — there are more than two hundred of them. The phone builds the notification itself: nothing leaves the device. ALSO INSIDE World map, genealogy, the Jewish year and its months, the weekly portion, today in history, self-test by era, an index and a glossary, prayers, communities and the sages of the Talmud. Works offline: the whole reference lives inside the app. Articles in Russian and English; interface also in Hebrew, Spanish and German.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

The app now carries the full reference base — the same one as the website. - 1,049 sages and figures, 633 events, 173 books, 137 places, 169 concepts. - Teacher–student lines re-checked one by one against the sources: doubtful and mistaken links removed, missing ones added. - New — Show on the timeline. In any article the golden year badge is now a button: tap it and the timeline opens at that year, with the time slice — who was alive alongside. - Time slice: more room, and the "who was alive" list now reads on one line. - Small things you see every day: capitalised labels, no more doubled icons in the menu, and a top bar that no longer wraps on the phone.
