Places to Learn on Your Own

What to read and listen to between conversations.

These are the sites Rabbi Abergel points people to when they ask what to read or listen to on their own. None of it replaces the weekly learning, and none of it replaces a person who knows you. Use it for the days in between.

  • Sephardic Halacha

    Where to look up what to do, and where to learn a little every day.

    • iTorah

      A whole library of daily learning, from many rabbis: halacha, Gemara, Mishna, Tehillim, mussar, and the weekly parasha. It is the home of DailyHalacha.com.

    • Machon Magen Avot

      Rabbi Mordechai Lebhar, who wrote the Magen Avot books on Moroccan law and custom. Daily halachot, shiurim, and sefarim.

    • Halacha Yomit

      One short halacha a day, based on the rulings of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. This is the English edition, and you can send in a question.

  • Tunes and Prayer

    Recordings of how the words are actually sung, so you can learn a tune by ear.

    • Ta'ama (tht.co.il)

      The Torah reading, the haftarot, the festivals and the prayers, recorded in the Moroccan tradition. The site is in Hebrew.

    • Sephardic Hazzanut Project

      Syrian and Sephardic recordings: Torah reading, weekday and Shabbat prayers, pizmonim, and bakashot. Newer recordings are on its YouTube channel.

  • Moroccan Books

    Prayer books and sefarim from the Moroccan tradition.

    • On The Derekh

      Moroccan siddurim and machzorim in Hebrew and English, plus halacha guides that follow the Moroccan poskim.
