In the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God
--Genesis 21,33
ברוך דיין האמת -- Blessed is
the True Judge
With great sadness, we share the news of the passing of our friend and teacher Shelomo ben
Avraham, the originator and principal contributor of Mechon
Mamre. His kindness and deep knowledge of Rambam's Mishneh Torah
inspired many students to follow in his path. He is sorely
missed.
Mechon Mamre
Here you will find the Hebrew Bible (Tana"kh) and the RaMBaM's
Complete Restatement of the Oral Law (Mishneh Torah):
Together these give God's full guidance for both Jews and
Gentiles in all times and places detailing what God expects us to
do and not do. Through the study and observance of these
two guides to Torah (God's instructions) we can all live richly
rewarding lives and avoid painful errors. Both our online
and offline Bible and Mishneh Torah texts have been carefully
prepared, and they are as accurate as found in the very finest
printed editions. (Additional materials are also provided,
but they are not the heart of this site.)
Note about the site format: you can change font size, text width, and
background color by clicking on the menu at the top of any page.

We are developing additional online and offline resources for
learning Torah. Although all material on our site is
copyrighted freeware, we do hope you will make a donation, if you
can.
Since most of the content of this site is available in
ZIPs, we ask that you not use a robot to download this whole
site: it is not only unnecessary, but costs us needless
outlays for the added load on our server, makes the server slower
for others who are online, and it would take years to read the
whole site even for speed readers.
We try to answer all real mail within a day or two.
The hundreds of letters we get each month have helped us improve the
site greatly, and we thank you for your on-going help: God
bless you all!
