JEWISH WISDOM AS A POCKET HAVRUTA
Source J is an app for Jewish study and reflection. Share a thought, a situation, a question — and receive insight from the four great corpora of the tradition: Torah (weekly Parasha), Tehillim (Psalms), Talmud (Havruta) and Gematria.
Every insight quotes the sources verbatim. Nothing is invented: only authentic commentaries (Rashi, Ramban, Ibn Ezra, Sforno, Or HaChaim, Radak…) already present in the texts, brought into conversation with what you are experiencing.
— ONE THOUGHT, FOUR LENSES —
• Weekly Parasha: universal motif and verses that resonate with your thought.
• Tehillim: psalm of the day and segulot (recommendations by occasion: healing, protection, gratitude…).
• Havruta: two-step Talmudic study — choose a motif, then dive deep with Rashi and Tosafot.
• Gematria: numerical value of your words, classical equivalences, graph of connections.
• Unified insight: a synthesis of all four sources in a single reading.
— MAGGID, VERSE-BY-VERSE STUDY —
Study each parasha with a Maggid from a specific era (Maggid of Troyes, Darshan of Toledo…). The Maggid only draws on the commentators allowed by his school. You can:
• Ask questions in chat (interactive havruta).
• Turn on pilpul: he will systematically raise a kushia (objection).
• Request a comparison between commentators ("Rashi writes… Ibn Ezra writes…").
• Cross-reference the verse with the Talmud Bavli (semantic search across 35,000+ passages).
— TEFILOT, A PRAYER COMPANION —
Weekly Parasha & Haftarah, Tehillim & Segulot, verse-by-verse Hebrew/English reader. 30-day cycle of the 150 Psalms. Favorite verses.
— HISTORY, A LIVING BACKGROUND —
Semantic search across the Encyclopedia Judaica (54,000+ articles), Flavius Josephus, the Maccabees, the sources on Jews under Rome and the Amarna Letters. Interactive map of the 12 tribes; a grand historical timeline of exiles, temples, kings, rabbis, texts and schools.
— DISCUSS ANY INSIGHT —
Each result opens a gentle havruta chat that knows the full context on screen (passage, commentaries, references) and answers with precision, always citing the sources.
— A RESPECTFUL APPROACH —
Source J contains no advertising, no tracker and no behavioural analytics tool. Your data stays primarily on your device. See our privacy policy for details.
The app is a study companion. It does not replace a teacher, a yeshiva, or your own work. It is an invitation to enter the text differently.
— IMPORTANT NOTICE —
Source J is not a therapeutic tool, a medical device, or a substitute for psychological care or medical advice. If you are experiencing emotional distress, a crisis, or seeking guidance, please consult a qualified professional (doctor, psychologist, psychiatrist, rabbi). In case of life-threatening emergency, contact your local emergency services (911 in the US, 112 in Europe) or a suicide prevention hotline.
— LANGUAGES —
