Sources, not opinions
Every answer cites its exact references (Talmud, Rashi, Ramban, Tosafot…) with a verifiable link to Sefaria. No off-source claim.
Our mission
Make Torah studyable, by everyone, forever.
Shivim is a digital Torah study companion that helps you explore Tanakh, Talmud and their commentaries with rigor, gentleness, and respect for tradition. It is designed for students, teachers, parents and anyone who wants to rediscover the joy of learning.
Four principles
Faithful to tradition
Shivim renders no halakhic decision. Study is presented from the sources, but practical questions remain the realm of a qualified rabbi.
Family transmission
Kids mode and Ḥavrouta are designed to study together — friends, family, teacher and student, far or side by side.
Privacy and EU sources
No ads, no data resale. GDPR, EU hosting, end-to-end TLS encryption, one-click data deletion.
How Shivim was born
The observation
General-purpose AI tools often cite sources that don't exist. Sefaria offers a complete corpus but doesn't answer questions. Shivim was built to bridge that gap: ask a question, get a faithful answer, verify the sources in one click.
Our approach
Before composing an answer, Shivim retrieves the relevant passages from its indexed corpus, selects the most representative ones, then writes a synthesis based exclusively on those sources. Every answer links back to the exact references — you can verify in one click. No invention, no personal opinion from the assistant.
The ethics
Shivim commits never to train AI on user-private content, never to sell data, and to strictly respect the open licenses of source texts. No practical halakhic decision is rendered by the assistant.
Our sources
Shivim relies primarily on Sefaria's open corpus — Tanakh, Mishnah, Bavli and Yerushalmi, Rashi, Ramban, Rambam, Tosafot, Maharsha, Or HaChaim, Mussar, Hassidut, Halakha, Mahzorim — and Hebcal for Shabbat times and Daf Yomi. All texts keep their original references, verifiable in one click.
The team
Shivim is built by a small interdisciplinary team — yeshiva students, engineers and transmission enthusiasts — based between Europe and Israel. We will soon publish the faces and journeys behind the project.
