How to Explore the Library by Topic

Every time you visit the Topics homepage, you will find a different collection of Topics to explore. Sefaria’s engineers have developed a tool to display a randomized selection of Topic pages in an ever-shifting word cloud. In addition, you will see a number of Feature Topics and a selection of pages related to upcoming events on the Jewish calendar.

You can access the Topic homepage in two ways: 

1. By clicking the word Explore, found in the header of the library interface.
2. By typing a specific keyword into the search bar on the library homepage and selecting the result preceded by a hashtag (#).

Please note: The Topics homepage is only available on the in-browser version of Sefaria’s library.

Each Topic page provides a comprehensive overview of sources in the library relevant to your chosen subject. On Topic pages, you’ll find the following elements: 

• The Name of the Topic
• The Category and Description of the Topic (e.g. Biblical Characters)
• An AI indicator, indicating that some of the text on the page has been generated by artificial intelligence.
• A Notable Sources Tab, where you can see sources with titles and short introductions
• An All Sources Tab, where you can see additional sources without titles and introductions. 

Please note: Clicking on the filter icon allows you to access a secondary search bar and to view sources in order of relevance or chronology.
