With a click on your phone or tablet, you have your Talmud daf open in front of you – no internet connection needed. And that’s just the beginning. This app opens vistas in Gemara learning that most people could once only dream about.

What does the Talmud page look like?

Your choice. You can study directly from the full screen Vilna page layout. When you need something translated, simply tap on the word or phrase and you’ll get a popup , without leaving the Vilna page. You can also get a full screen Classic Schottenstein translation and notes, or split the screen between the Vilna page and the translation.

What are some other features?

If you want help following the Gemara logic, you can turn on the color-coding, which breaks the Vilna page into questions, answers, statements and proofs – a powerful aid to comprehension. For in-depth study, there are more than 250,000 hyperlinks, enabling you to access sources in the Gemara, Rashi, and Tosafos. You can also search for any word in the Gemara, including Rashi, Tosafos, the English translation, and the notes.

What about ease of use?

Click on any phrase and the corresponding Rashi, Tosafos, and other commentaries will instantly highlight, and click on a Rashi other commentaries and it will show you the corresponding place within the Vilna text. With a click you can change the font size.
