## Description

Go from the Hebrew alphabet to reading real Torah and prayers — step by step, whether you're prepping for a bar or bat mitzvah or learning as an adult.

Alef teaches you to read Hebrew — whether that's for a bar or bat mitzvah, to follow along in synagogue, or simply because you want to read the language. It takes you from your very first letter all the way to real Torah passages and prayers.

HOW YOU LEARN
• Guided Primer — a structured, ~20-minute onboarding that teaches the writing system before jumping into practice
• Spaced repetition flashcards — the proven method for long-term memory, tuned specifically for Hebrew letters, vowels, and vocabulary
• Daily practice — a short, focused session each day builds real fluency over weeks, not months

PRACTICE THROUGH PLAY
• Syllable Drill — quick-fire letter and vowel combinations
• Match Rush — a timed matching game for word recognition
• Word Builder — assemble real Hebrew words from scrambled letters
• Letter Quiz — test your recall, letter by letter

READ THE REAL THING
Once you've built a foundation, read actual Torah passages and prayers — the Shema, Friday night Kiddush, Psalms, and more — with word-by-word support.

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
Watch your level grow from Novice to Master as you unlock new letters, vowels, and vocabulary. Daily streaks and XP keep you motivated along the way.

BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY USE YOUR PHONE
• Choose between Traditional and Modern Hebrew type
• Native pronunciation audio for every letter, vowel, and word
• Offline mode — download your content and keep practicing with no connection
• Sign in with Apple for fast, secure account creation

Hebrew has a reputation for being hard to learn. Alef breaks it into small, achievable steps — so instead of memorizing in the abstract, you're reading real words and real prayers from day one.
