### 5/5 — Wisdom of the Sages

*2026-04-17*

Amazing support, if you have any issues they’re the best. The content itself is profound and life changing stuff, it’s worth the asking price in my opinion to justify the monthly expense. I had an initial issue with Apple integration and they fixed it super quickly and professionally. 

However there’s been a major loss of functionality on latest update, kind of hard to navigate now and find content since. I’ll wait it out and see if it improves. 

A+ support
A+ content 

As of last update, functionality could improve, but I will continue to support and promote this group of scholars with the hopes and good faith they are working on giving the users the best possible experience that also aligns with their vision.

### 4/5 — New app update

*2025-12-17, version 3.17.56*

Love the videos. I come a Christian faith tradition AND heard about this from the Marty Solomon at the BEMA podcast. The material on here is awesome!!! Love Rabbi David Fohrman’s insights!   It would be 5 stars. However, a recent app update lost the filter feature that’s available on the website. Bring that back please!

### 5/5 — Finest Torah out there today

*2025-10-12, version 3.17.52*

I am a ba'al teshuva who has been to many yeshivas. Rabbi Fohrman is sharing some of the most deep, relevant, and relatable Torah out there today.

### 5/5 — Mind-blowing Insights into Torah Stories You Thought You Knew!

*2025-09-28, version 3.17.52*

‘nuff said. Enjoy. Be well — and do good.

### 5/5 — Amazing Torah

*2025-08-27, version 3.17.49*

Everyone should Joy !!!!

### 5/5 — The veil is parted

*2025-08-09*

I have been studying Torah for more than 40 years. But since studying with Rabbi Foreman and his Torah scholars at Alef Beta my understanding of Torah has increased exponentially. How can I explain with words the joy, the awe, I receive studying so deeply, so connectedly?  I am closer to HaShem every time I study Torah with Alef Beta. I study from other orthodox sources, Alef Beta helps me see behind the veil. Don’t fret about the subscription. It’s worth 100 times more. All the Torah scholars need to be fed, housed, clothed. Don’t say it’s too expensive. The benefits of Torah studies are a thousand fold. 
It’s my go to Torah study app.

### 5/5 — Water to my soul

*2025-08-09*

Exceptional. So simple. So many layers deep. I personally benefit so much from these teachings. It is like water to my soul.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I’ve been wanting

It’s well made, the content is solid, the tone is respectful of different traditions, and the kids content is excellent.

### 5/5 — Torah

### 5/5 — Amazing lessons

*2025-02-14*
