Questions
Good to know
What is Bayit?
Bayit is a daily Jewish learning app for iPhone. Each day it gives you about five quiet minutes: a short teaching on the weekly parsha, a tefilah for the day, and a place to ask any question about Torah and Jewish life, answered with the sources quoted from Sefaria's library.
Do I need to read Hebrew to use Bayit?
No. Every text appears in Hebrew and English side by side, and the daily teaching and conversations are in English. If you are learning to read, the Hebrew is always right there beside the translation.
Who is Bayit for?
Anyone who wants Torah to be part of an ordinary day: people coming back to learning, people who never had the chance, and people who learn a lot and want a steady daily anchor. Bayit draws on traditional sources and lets you choose Ashkenaz, Sefard, or Edot HaMizrach.
Is Bayit like Duolingo for Torah?
In one way: it is built around a small daily habit. Each day you learn moves you along a streak journey of painted postcards, with grace days for when life gets in the way. But it is not a drill-based course. The point is a few quiet minutes of learning and prayer, every day.
How much does Bayit cost?
Bayit is an auto-renewing subscription of $5.99 per week in the US. It unlocks the daily learning plan, unlimited questions, the streak journey, and the Tanakh reader. The App Store shows the price in your local currency, and you can cancel anytime from your Apple Account settings.
Where do Bayit's texts come from?
From Sefaria's open library of Jewish texts. Translations are public domain or Creative Commons editions, credited per passage in the app, and every answer links back to the source it quotes.
Is Bayit available on Android?
Not yet. Bayit is available for iPhone on the App Store.
