Study resources
The tools this congregation points to, grouped here by what each one is for.
Some are software you install, some are websites, and several are free courses put online for anyone to use. You do not need all of them: one tool for reading and one place to look up a word is enough to begin with, whether you are studying תּוֹרָה Torah, listening to the scriptures, or starting on the alphabet.
Before you follow a link
- These sites are not ours and we do not control what they publish.
- Use discernment and prayer.
- Sharing something here does not mean we endorse everything on that site.
- If you want to know whether this congregation accepts a particular teaching, please ask our leadership privately. That is a better answer than one drawn from a link.
