Read Torah with English Translation Side by Side
Side-by-side view shows the Hebrew text of the reading next to its English translation, so you can follow the meaning of each verse as you learn to chant it. It keeps the pshat (plain meaning) in front of you while you practice the trope.
Understand what you’re chanting
Learning to chant a portion is easier — and more meaningful — when you know what the words mean. Side-by-side view pairs each Hebrew verse with its English translation so the meaning stays with you while you practice the melody.
Who it’s for
Adult learners, interfaith families, and anyone who wants to connect the sound of the reading to its meaning.
How to use it
- Open a reading. Open the Torah, Haftarah, or Megillah portion you’re preparing.
- Show the English. Turn on the English translation to display it alongside the Hebrew.
- Read and chant together. Follow the translation as you practice chanting each Hebrew verse.
