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. The rabbis have long since passed away and in many instances so has their holy work. If any Rabbi who authored a sefer were asked what his one wish would be, his answer would surely be, I want people to learn my sefer, even after my passing. Indeed, many Rabbis writing in their introductions, state: I wrote this sefer and hope it will be studied even after my death, in order that my lips may move in my grave. At HebrewBooks.org, users are able to view and print the entire sefer online. When quoting these seforim, please be sure to mention the Rabbi's name. In this way, the author's lips will move in his grave and life will be brought to the memory of the author. The goal of HebrewBooks.org is to bring to life all the Torah seforim that were ever printed and unfortunately forgotten, and to make all Torah publications free and ubiquitous.
