The library

What’s on the shelves, and why

Chavruti’s assistant quotes only what is in this library, so it matters what’s here. 366 works, 187,528 passages, every one openly licensed and credited where it’s shown. This page lists each book, the edition and translation we use, and what we’ve left out.

Generated from the library itself, the same catalog your assistant reads when you ask whether a book is here. Every edition’s license and credit, the dictionaries and the data behind the calendar are on Sources and licenses.

The dictionaries behind every word

Every word in the reader links to its entry, so the dictionaries are part of the library too.

  • Jastrow, A Dictionary of the Targumim, the Talmud Babli and Yerushalmi, and the Midrashic Literature (1903): 32,506 entries (Public Domain) Definitions for the words of the Mishnah and Talmud, Hebrew and Aramaic.
  • English Wiktionary, via kaikki.org (wiktextract): 13,974 entries (CC BY-SA 4.0 / GFDL) Definitions, roots, IPA and romanizations for Hebrew words, modern and classical. Share-alike applies to the definitions.
  • Brown-Driver-Briggs, via the Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible: 9,299 entries (CC BY 4.0) The dictionary entry for every word of the Tanakh: headword, gloss, definition, part of speech and root.

Not here, and why

The rules are simple. We load only what is openly licensed for a paid service (public domain, CC0, CC BY, CC BY-SA), check the license on every download, and keep one Hebrew and one English edition per work, preferring the vocalized and the complete. Everything we looked at and set aside is listed here.

WorkEditionWhy not
Cheshbon HaNefesh (Mendel of Satanov, 1812)Warsaw, 1894, via SefariaNo license we can rely on. The program the mussar track follows. Its readings come from the rest of the mussar library until an open edition is found; each middah’s summary is Chavruti’s own words.
Shemirat HaLashon (Hebrew)Torat Emet 370, via SefariaNo license we can rely on. The English (Silverstein, and the Sefaria Community Translation) is loaded.
Sefer HaMiddot (English)“The aleph bet book”, Breslov Research Institute, Mykoff 1986Non-commercial license (NC). An open English (Wikisource, CC BY-SA) is loaded instead.
Sefer HaMiddot (Hebrew)Moghilev, 1811 (Public Domain)Open, but a better open edition is loaded. The rabenubook edition is loaded.
Ma'alot HaMiddotNo edition found. Not on Sefaria under that name.
Mesillat Yesharim, Duties of the Heart, Orchot Tzadikim, Sha'arei Teshuvah, Chafetz Chaim (English)Sefaria Community Translation (CC0)Filed as English, but isn't. Checked on these works: Persian, French, notes, or not aligned with the Hebrew’s numbering.
Mesillat Yesharim (Hebrew)Shechem (Public Domain, unvocalized)Open, but a better open edition is loaded. The CC0 vocalized edition is loaded.
Orchot Tzadikim (Hebrew)Torat Emet 357 and Wikitext (unvocalized)Open, but a better open edition is loaded. The vocalized Wikisource edition is loaded.
Duties of the Heart (Hebrew)Warsaw 1875 and Amsterdam 1768 (Public Domain, unvocalized)Open, but a better open edition is loaded. The CC0 vocalized edition is loaded.
Sha'arei Teshuvah (Hebrew)Torat Emet (Public Domain)Open, but a better open edition is loaded. The CC0 vocalized edition is loaded.
Sha'arei Teshuvah (Hebrew)Wikisource edition, via SefariaNo license we can rely on.
Tomer Devorah and Pele Yoetz, other editionsThe Seidenberg and YU Tomer Devorah; the itorah Pele Yoetz; and every other mussar version Sefaria lists as unknown or NCNo license we can rely on.
Be'er Mayim Chaim (on the Chafetz Chaim)A separate book on SefariaOpen, but not loaded yet.
Tanya (Hebrew)Kehot Publication Society, via SefariaNon-commercial license (NC). Sefaria’s only Hebrew. Loadable for a non-commercial deployment (ingest-tanya --include-nc), never for this service. So most Tanya refs, the Tanya Yomi’s among them, aren’t found.
Tanya (Hebrew)Hebrew Wikisource, vocalized (CC BY-SA 4.0)Open, but doesn't line up with our refs. Open, but its paragraphs aren’t numbered as Kehot’s, which Sefaria’s refs and the Tanya Yomi follow: under those refs it would show the wrong passage. Could be loaded by chapter under its own numbering.
Tanya (English)Lessons in Tanya / Kehot, via SefariaNon-commercial license (NC).
Talmud Bavli (vocalized Aramaic and English)William Davidson / Koren-Steinsaltz, via SefariaNon-commercial license (NC). The only complete vocalized Bavli and English. The Bavli loads unvocalized (Wikisource, CC BY-SA), with open English only for Berakhot (Cohen, 1921).
Talmud Bavli (vocalized)Hebrew Wikisource, Rabbi Dan Be'eri's files (CC BY-SA 4.0)Open, but too little of the work yet. About ten chapters (Berakhot 1, 2, 4, 5; Pesachim 10; Sukkah 3; Kiddushin 1; Bava Metzia 2, 3, 6; Megillah 2a), on pages that don’t follow Sefaria’s segmentation. A later layer.
Talmud Bavli, Berakhot (vocalized)ברכות (תלמוד מדויק), Hebrew WikisourceOpen, but too little of the work yet. Berakhot only.
Talmud Bavli (English)“Wikisource Talmud”, via Sefaria (the Soncino translation)No license we can rely on. Labelled CC BY-SA, but 92 segments in all of Shas, and it reads as the Soncino translation, whose public-domain status is unclear.
Talmud Bavli (English)Rodkinson (Public Domain)Open, but doesn't line up with our refs. Barely aligned on Sefaria (3 segments of Shabbat).
Talmud Bavli (English)Sefaria Community Translation (CC0)Filed as English, but isn't. Russian and Portuguese filed as English.

Wanted

What we’d most like to add. If you hold the rights to one of these, or know an open edition, please write to support@chavruti.ai.

  • Rashi and Tosafot on the Talmud. The Talmud track’s stages 4 and 5 promise them; today the assistant may only summarize, labelled as a summary.
  • Targum Onkelos; Ramban, Ibn Ezra, Sforno on the Torah. The commentators the Chumash track would read next to Rashi.
  • Midrash (Rabbah, Tanchuma) and Ein Yaakov. Aggadah for learners who come for story and thought rather than law.
  • The rest of the Shulchan Arukh; the Tur; Arukh HaShulchan; Sefer HaChinukh. Halakhah beyond Orach Chayim.
  • Kuzari, Guide for the Perplexed, Pirkei Avot commentaries. Jewish thought, for the academic and philosophical lenses.
  • Modern and non-Orthodox voices (Heschel, Buber, Kaplan, Plaskow, Hartman and others). The library leans traditional; the for-everyone promise needs other voices. Mostly in copyright: needs permissions, not just open-license searching.
  • An open modern Tanakh English. JPS 1917 is archaic; JPS 1985 and others are in copyright.
  • Haggadah; the Festival prayers; Megillot with commentary. The calendar already points to them.
  • Modern Hebrew literature for graded reading. The bookshelf’s public-domain books from Project Ben-Yehuda are a start; more levels are needed.
