The William Davidson Talmud

The William Davidson Talmud

More than fifty years ago, Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz Even-Israel took it upon himself to make the Talmud, the central text of Jewish life, available to all. In 1965, he began translating the 37 tractates of the Talmud from ancient Aramaic into Modern Hebrew, with an English translation published in the Koren Talmud Bavli Noé Edition. Ninety percent of the world’s Jewish population speaks English or Hebrew as a first language, so making the Talmud intelligible in these two languages is a colossal achievement, but until now, this precious content was only available to those with access to a physical volume.

Today, Sefaria is excited and humbled to announce the release of The William Davidson Talmud, a free digital edition of the Babylonian Talmud with parallel translations, interlinked to major commentaries, biblical citations, Midrash, Kabbalah, Halakhah, and an ever-growing library of Jewish texts.

The William Davidson Talmud will continually evolve as we add additional commentaries and connections, and will ultimately include Rabbi Steinsaltz’s complete Modern Hebrew and English translations. You can already access 22 tractates in English (Berakhot to Bava Batra) online on our website. The Modern Hebrew translations will start appearing online later this year, and the remaining English tractates will follow.

"Geazim Digital" is pleased to announce the launching of a new website as part of the Friedberg Portal: the Sussmann Catalog website. "The Thesaurus of Talmudic Manuscripts" is a catalog of all manuscripts in the word that can possibly be found of the Mishna, Tosefta, Talmud Yerushalmi, Talmud Bavli and Rif. The catalog was recently published by Prof. Yaacov Sussmann. A list and description of all manuscripts, whole or of the smallest size of these works are included in the catalog. In the current site the three Sussmann volumes are displayed in the format of the original book as PDF pages. Besides simple browsing through the book additional processing functions are available. For details, see the site Homepage.

The site requires registration, but is otherwise open access
