Sefaria is a free, open-source library of Jewish texts spanning roughly three thousand years, published by a non-profit and given away without advertising or any paid tier.
The library holds the Tanakh, Mishnah, Talmud, Midrash, halakhic works including the Mishneh Torah and Shulchan Aruch, kabbalistic texts, liturgy and a large body of commentary — in Hebrew and Aramaic with English translation alongside.
What makes it more than a collection is the linking. Texts are connected to every other text that cites or comments on them, so a verse in Torah opens onto the Talmudic passages that discuss it, the commentators who interpret it and the halakhic rulings that draw on it. That web of connection is how Jewish learning actually works, and Sefaria is the first digital library to model it properly.
The entire library — around 500MB — downloads for offline study, and source sheets let a user assemble passages for teaching or personal use.
Free on Android and iOS. The texts are released under open licences.
