Friend,    With Purim right around the corner, Sefaria is busy preparing for the “Purim bump” — the increase in users who visit Sefaria to celebrate the holiday. Last year, more than 100,000 people visited the library or used the app to connect with the holiday or read along with Megillat Esther. This year we’re expecting even more.    To help with our text and tech preparations ahead of this busy time, a generous Jewish foundation is matching all gifts to the library up to $36,000.    Please give today to help us meet your learning needs!

Behind the Sefaria library are over a million lines of code and a powerful API. While this code goes unseen by most people, it’s arguably the most important part of the library — in part because anyone can freely use it.
For the last 10 years, we’ve been ingesting the Jewish canon, generating data that can be repurposed by other Torah technologies forever. Now, we’re excited to introduce a new hub for software developers to more easily utilize Sefaria’s open-source data in their own projects.
Here’s why it matters: Making Sefaria’s data more accessible means that more Torah technologies can be built better and faster… which means more opportunities for Jewish learning for all.
Already, more than 200 Torah technologies make use of Sefaria’s data, from popular sites like My Jewish Learning and Hadran to newer tools like Mishnah.org. With our new Developer Portal, we're working to make the digital building blocks of our library — the data surrounding 3,000 years of Jewish texts — accessible to a wider range of developers.

In the new Sefaria Developer Portal, you’ll find:

  • A growing collection of endpoints included in our interactive API reference
  • Essential documentation about working with Sefaria’s data and API
  • Access to download-ready data
  • How to get in touch with our engineering team
  • …and more.
This is just the beginning of a larger initiative to make options for working with Sefaria data more accessible and robust.
