This app allows access to core Torah texts - Tanakh, Mishnah, Tosefta, Talmud, Rambam and Shulkhan Arukh (as well as Midrash Halakha and Midrash Aggada) and their commentators. It is powered by the texts in the Sefaria library, with an interface that allows for easy use and access, and is particularly tailored for the needs and interests of serious Torah learners. A commentators panel allows the user to select 3 commentators to easily cycle between, and different ones can always be selected from the menu. It is particularly powerful on the iPad, making full use of the large screen for the main text and a commentators panel on the side.
