# Chavruti

> Chavruti is a learning partner (chavruta) for Jewish texts that lives in the learner's own AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Muse, or any assistant that connects over MCP). The assistant does the talking: it reads with the learner, asks and explains. Chavruti holds the real text, each word's pronunciation in the learner's tradition, the method for each subject, and a record of everything the learner knows, with spaced review. Published by Zeno Services, LLC (Brooklyn, New York).

## What it holds

- Texts, from openly licensed sources only: all of Tanakh (Westminster Leningrad Codex, with every word linked to its lemma by the Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible; JPS 1917 English) and all 63 tractates of Mishnah (Torat Emet, the Kaufmann manuscript and Romm Vilna in Hebrew; English by Dr. Joshua Kulp for every tractate, plus Rabbi Shraga Silverstein and Open Mishnah for many).
- Pronunciation in eight traditions: Modern Israeli, Sephardi, Ashkenazi, Ashkenazi (Litvish), Ashkenazi (Hasidic), Yemenite, Tiberian academic, and SBL simple.
- Tracks: reading Hebrew letters (kriah), Hebrew (ivrit), Torah with commentary, Mishnah, Mussar. Talmud is next.
- The learner's record: words, roots and passages learned, review schedule, position in each book, milestones.
- A web app (app.chavruti.ai) with a reader whose vowels, transliteration and translation fade as words become known, maps of what's been covered, the learner's path, and review.

## Principles

- Text comes from the tools: the assistant quotes only text Chavruti returned, never from memory.
- For everyone who learns: assumes nothing about belief, observance, gender or background. The learner sets their pronunciation tradition, interpretive lenses, and how the Divine Name is read and written.
- Multiple lenses labeled: classical rabbinic commentary, historical-critical, literary, feminist, and humanist readings are each clearly labeled; disagreements are illuminated rather than dogmatically smoothed over.
- Not a posek: questions of practice are treated through the learner's chosen frame (historical, cultural, or communal), without imposing religious obligation.

## Price

$10 a month or $100 a year, after a 14-day free trial (no card needed to start; add one before the trial ends to keep recording; nothing is charged during the trial).
