## What's unique to this app

- **Seif-level parallel reading**: the original Hebrew and English seif by seif; a seif without English says so.
- **Daily halacha**: Halakhah Yomit and Arukh HaShulchan Yomi, each day opening at that day's seif.
- **Audio**: read-aloud of the text.
- **AI Rabbi chat**: questions about a seif answered with sources for further study, via [Rabbi AI](https://rabbiai.app). It does not give practical rulings.
- **Halachic disclaimer**: every siman states that the text is for study. The Shulchan Aruch rules by Sephardi custom, the Rema's glosses by Ashkenazi custom, and the Kitzur follows Ashkenazi custom.
