Aleph Beta Guides

Beautiful, printable Torah & Holiday Guides

There are a lot of divrei Torah. How are Guides different?
At Aleph Beta, we believe that the Torah is a guidebook that answers life’s biggest questions, offering profound insights about how we should live our lives. Moreover, we believe that Jewish tradition has always recognized the right of all readers, in every generation, to look at the text themselves and try to decide what they think it means. That means you. That’s why you are the most important author of this quest through the sources. We think that this guide offers a fun, stimulating and relevant path through the sources, but if you get wrapped up in a stimulating discussion and never make it past page 2, we’ll consider that a success!
Is this guide for self-study or should I study with others?
Either works! You can gather a small group of friends to explore it together, share it with a chevruta (learning partner), or go through it by yourself.
Do I need to prepare anything or can I just jump in?
Just jump in! Even if you’re planning to use this for a group discussion, just open up to page 1 and get going. (If you read it in advance, it will spoil the fun!) The only thing you should do in advance is print out copies of the “Source Sheet” for the other participants, so everyone can follow along and engage with the sources.
