Description
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.
Get full access to:
* Calendars for Parashat HaShavua (weekly Torah reading), Daf Yomi (daily Oral Torah learning), 929 (daily Tanakh), Rambam Yomi (daily Rambam teaching), and Mishnah Yomi (daily Mishnah)
* Torah commentaries in English including Rashi, Or HaChaim, Rashbam, and many more
* Over 50 commentaries on Tanakh - Ibn Ezra, Ramban, Haamek Davar Gur Aryeh, and more
* Over 15 Mishnah commentaries including Bartenura, Ikar Tosafot Yom Tov, Rambam, and more

Our mission as a non-profit organization is to allow more people access to engage with the textual treasures of our tradition. As we move our texts from print to digital we are creating not merely an archive but a platform to give these texts new life.
Our free, living library of Jewish texts is allowing us to build the future of Jewish learning in an open and participatory way. Download our app or learn more at www.sefaria.org

Ratings and Reviews
Astonishing!
Yes, well - this simply is astonishing. An amazing collection of Jewish texts, enough for a lifetime and more, beautifully presented in a free app that is extremely easy to navigate. I don’t often use the word, but for its purposes this seems pretty near to perfect. An enormous amount of work must have gone into its preparation for which one can only feel deeply grateful. Thank you.

Impressed
I’m really impressed with work. Do you think it’s possible to get a kindle equivalent of the books. Not everyone is phone savvy.
