Sefaria is dedicated to building the future of Jewish learning in an open and participatory way. We are creating a free living library of Jewish texts and their interconnections - Bible, Talmud, Midrash, Chasidut, Kabbalah, Liturgy, Responsa... Our goal is to support learners, educators, and developers by providing open access to our digital texts and tools that enable new forms of engagement with this ancient tradition.
