Torah from memory — read in the texts.

A halakha or limud question? The answer is read in the Bible, the Talmud and their commentators — quoted exactly, linked to its sources. On the site in three languages, on WhatsApp every Friday, on video with Rav Attal — and in Claude, with the whole library. Free, no account, no data collection.

“Why do we light two candles on Friday night?”

Two wicks: one for Zachor, “remember”, and one for Shamor, “keep” — the Torah's two formulations of Shabbat, joined in the light.

Texts read — Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chayim 263:1 · Exodus 20:8 · Deuteronomy 5:12

A real answer — read on Sefaria

An ordinary AI — answers from memory

It crossed these texts once, during training, and reconstructs them: approximate references, recomposed quotations, sometimes invented outright — with the same confidence in both cases, and without ever saying what it did not open.

Mamash IA — opens the book

The question triggers a reading: the text is opened in the Sefaria edition, quoted as it is written, with its exact reference, linked to its commentators and to the texts that depend on it. Verifiable precision, one click away — and, when a source is missing, the answer says so.

אThe manifesto, annotated in the margin

Assistants answer Torah questions from memory — with the confidence of one who has not opened the book. Mamash IA reverses the gesture: before any answer, your assistant loads a study method that obliges it to read the text, to quote it as it is written, and to say where to study it.

Because one does not learn alone, it also knows how to become a chavruta partner — the one who asks the questions rather than answering them — and to prepare the week's parashah like a worksite: aliyah by aliyah, machloket included.

And because study lives inside a Jewish day, it carries the everyday tools — zmanim, dates, gematria, nikkud, source sheets to share — and the whole library: Sefaria to read and connect, HebrewBooks to study from the scanned page.

And because the Torah does not belong to scholars alone, it speaks to each at their level: everything in plain English and every word explained for the beginner, the source in the original language and the lomdus for the one who has mastered it.

בThree modes — to each at their level

Beginner

No religious background, or no Hebrew.

Everything in English. No Hebrew word without its translation, context before the answer, one idea at a time — and no question ever judged naive.

“What is halakha, exactly?”

Classic

Basic background, Hebrew with translation.

Bilingual: the source, then its translation — English for the Bible. Common terms assumed known, standard references, machloket flagged. The default mode.

“What does Rashi say on this verse?”

Advanced

The beit midrash.

Source in the original language, terminology without gloss, rishonim and poskim, girsaot when they weigh, nafka mina, lomdus. Maximum density, nothing smoothed over.

“Shitat ha-Rambam against Tosafot here?”

One engine, one rigour: the texts are always actually read and quoted exactly. Only the register adapts — and you change it with a word. No Claude? Ask your question right here, in English: the answer is read in the texts, with its sources.

“Show me today's daf.”

And a Vilna page opens in the conversation: the Gemara in the centre, Rashi and Tosafot unfoldable, the translation one click away on each segment. Without a reference, it is the daf yomi that opens.
