New Interfaces for Jewish Texts
Sefaria is a digital library and platform for accessing Jewish texts and text-based learning. We invite developers to leverage the largest open-source database of Jewish texts in history to build apps and services utilizing the Jewish canon.
Visit our Developer Portal to read our docs, play with our interactive API Reference and to learn more about Sefaria's open source data and technology. There, you can also find tutorials, installation instructions, and all of the most up-to-date information about our technology.
Interested developers can join the Sefaria Developer Discord Community.
There are endless avenues for improving and expanding Sefaria. Therefore, we have to select our projects carefully, whether we're fixing a bug or developing a new feature. Our priorities are guided by both Sefaria's long-term organizational vision and user research.
As a result, we rarely prioritize public code contributions, as they are not aligned with Sefaria's product pipeline. That being said, we appreciate feature requests and bug reports and are always happy to hear suggestions for how we can improve our product.
Are you looking to build a feature that supports Torah study? If so, we highly encourage you to build a Powered by Sefaria project rather than submitting a PR to our repository. You can see a full list of projects built by the community and powered by our technology and data here.
Thank you for your understanding and support!

We use Storybook with the Vite builder to develop and review shared React components. To start Storybook locally:
npm install if you have not done so recently.npm run storybook to launch the dev server at http://localhost:6006.Stories live in the stories/ directory. Each story can import components from static/js and will automatically receive the global Sefaria stubs defined in .storybook/preview.js.
