What is Aleph Beta?
Aleph Beta is a nonprofit Torah study platform built around the close-reading methodology of Rabbi David Fohrman: treating the Hebrew Bible as a unified literary work and examining its text, patterns, and intertextual references to surface meaning.
The library contains over 1,200 animated videos and podcasts, organized around the weekly Torah portion (parsha), Jewish holidays, and thematic questions in Tanakh — from Genesis narratives to subjects like prayer, faith, and ethics. Most video content is also available in audio form, and many lessons come with printable study guides and outlines for individual or group learning.
Content is organized into courses and series that can be browsed by parsha, holiday, book of Tanakh, or topic. A free account gives previews and a limited selection; a paid membership unlocks the full library. Aleph Beta operates as a nonprofit and offers need-based scholarships for the membership.
The platform is available on the web, with mobile apps for iOS and Android that support learning on the go.
