Last Updated: April 15, 2026
Sefaria, Inc. and Sefaria Israel Amutah (R.A.) (“Sefaria,” “we,” “us,” etc.), are nonprofit charitable organizations dedicated to building the future of Jewish learning in an open and participatory way. We are assembling a free-living library of Jewish texts and their interconnections, in Hebrew and in translation. With these digital texts, we are creating new, interactive interfaces for Web, tablet and mobile, allowing more people to engage with the textual treasures of our tradition.
To support our community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of structured primary texts, translations, annotations, and other learning materials. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content related to Jewish texts available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
We welcome you (“you,” “your,” or the “User”) as a reader, editor, translator, author, or contributor to Sefaria and we encourage you to join the Sefaria community.
Sefaria is available via several domains, such as Sefaria, Voices, and Developers. Sefaria also maintains a version of the library on iOS and Android (the “Service”), and the terms and conditions are stated herein, including our Privacy Policy, Copyright Policy and our Shipping, Warranty, Repairs, Cancellation and Refund Policy (the “Terms of Use”).

Sefaria reserves the right to amend these Terms of Use from time to time. We will post any change to these Terms of Use on our Service at a reasonable time in advance of the effective date of the change, and we will also make efforts to proactively notify you by email of material changes if we have your email address. Your continued use of the Service following any amendment will signify your assent to and acceptance of the revised terms. At the top of this page, we will notify you of the date these Terms of Use were last updated. We will also endeavor to post notification of any updates to these Terms of Use on the Service. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions contained in the Terms of Use, you should not access or use the Service.
