No AI writes Torah here — every pasuk, Rashi and Midrash is fetched word-for-word from Sefaria and checked before it prints.
A language model chooses which pasuk or which Rashi to build the week around. It never writes out what they say. It produces a reference — “Rashi on Deuteronomy 26:2” — and that reference is checked against Sefaria’s catalogue before anything is built. If the reference does not exist, the build stops. Then the actual words are downloaded from Sefaria and printed exactly as they are. Nothing on this page is a Torah source quoted from memory.
Hebrew comes from Tanach with Ta’amei Hamikra, which is public domain. English comes from the Metsudah Chumash, used under CC-BY. Rashi comes from the Rosenbaum and Silbermann edition of 1929-34, public domain in both languages. These are pinned deliberately: Sefaria’s default English is licensed for non-commercial use only, and the build refuses to print any text whose licence it cannot verify.
It writes the songs, the retelling of the parsha, and the plain account of each aliyah — and all of these follow one rule: they may say what the pesukim plainly say, plus anything a mefaresh printed on this same sheet says, and nothing else. No reason, lesson or detail that is not either in the pesukim or in a source you can read here yourself. A child remembers a song for twenty years, so it is treated as the highest-stakes text on the sheet, not the lowest. The music itself is made in Suno, by hand, after a person has read the lyrics.
The aliyah-by-aliyah account is the one place a person did not write every word. The seven verse ranges come from Sefaria’s own calendar — they are the ranges the parsha is actually read in, not a guess — and each range is checked before anything is built. The account of what happens in each aliyah stays to what the pesukim plainly say, in as much detail as the space allows. It never explains why. Every reason, lesson or explanation on this sheet is a quote from a named mefaresh, printed in his words, directly below.
Where the sheet draws a lesson out of the parsha, that lesson is a mefaresh speaking, fetched word-for-word and printed with its reference — not a summary of what he said. The AI chooses which comment is worth a child hearing; it never writes the comment. The short heading above each one is a signpost, not Torah. Rashi, Sforno, Ramban and Or HaChaim are the mefarshim used, all under public domain or CC-BY. Ibn Ezra is deliberately absent: his Hebrew is public domain but the available English translation is licensed for non-commercial use only, so the build refuses it.
Most parshios contain something hard — the tochacha here, the mabul in Noach, Korach. These are not skipped, and they are not dwelt on: one plain line, no imagery, and the story moves. A sheet that quietly leaves out most of Ki Tavo would be teaching that the Torah is only its pleasant half.
Short quotes from mainstream Orthodox sites appear in two places: the quote band, and the collection of vorts and shmuessen gathered for each parsha. Both follow the same rule — always verbatim, never paraphrased, always named and linked, and only ever from a fixed list of sites. And the excerpts are not merely claimed to be verbatim: before anything is published, the build fetches every linked page and checks that the excerpt actually appears on it, word for word. An excerpt that cannot be found on its own page fails the build. The full vort stays where its author put it — the collection is a card catalogue, not a reprint.
There is no rabbinic endorsement behind this sheet. It quotes published sources rather than offering original Torah, which is exactly why it is built the way it is. If you find a mistake, please say so — corrections are the reason this gets better.
