Hebrewbooks.org was founded in order to preserve old American Hebrew books that are out of print and/or circulation. Many American Rabbis wrote seforim (Hebrew books) in the early part of the 20th century. They have long since passed away and in many instances so has their holy work.

Currently our mission has expanded to include all Torah Seforim ever printed. At Hebrewbooks.org you will be able to view and print the entire Sefer online.

If you were to ask any Rabbi who authored a sefer, what his one wish would be, his answer would surely be, "I want people to learn my sefer, even after my passing". Indeed, we find many Rabbis writing in their introductions: " I wrote this sefer and hope it will be studied even after my death, in order that my lips may move in my grave." When you quote these seforim, please be sure to mention the Rabbi's name. In this way the author's "lips will move in his grave". In this manner you will bring life to the memory of the author. Our Rabbis of blessed memory teach us that "He who quotes a saying in the name of its author, hastens the redemption of the world". They cite the Book of Esther in support of this: "Queen Esther reported the plot to kill king Achashverosh in the name of Mordechai".

HebrewBooks.org is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Our goal is to bring to life the many Seforim that were written and unfortunately forgotten, and to make all Torah Publications free and ubiquitous.
