The Jewish Innovation
Sefaria is about building the future of Jewish learning in an open and participatory way.
We are building a free repository of Jewish Texts and their interconnections, in Hebrew and in translation. Our scope is Torah in the broadest sense, from Tanakh to Talmud to Zohar to modern texts and all the volumes of commentary in between. Sefaria is created, edited, and annotated by an open community.
Having digital texts enables us to create a new, interactive interface for the iPad and Web which allows students and scholars around the world to explore the interconnections among Torah texts.
Judaism’s core texts grew out of millennia-long conversations and arguments across generations. We envision creating an open space for ancient conversations to continue in new ways, with new participants, new questions, and new layers of dialogue.
Sefaria is fiscally sponsored by Jewish Jumpstart
