I have shiurim

Your shiurim are already a sefer. We write it down.

You have been teaching for years. The recordings exist, your kehilla knows your voice, and none of it is yet a book. You teach; we write.

The process

Nothing new is asked of you.

  1. You send what you have

    A YouTube channel, a TorahAnytime page, a podcast, Zoom recordings, WhatsApp voice notes, old cassettes, and the handwritten notes you taught from if you have them. A single series or twenty years of shiurim. We take it as it is.

  2. We find the book inside it

    We go through the whole archive before choosing anything: which subjects you return to most, which shiurim you have given three and four times and refined each time, where there is a sefer's worth of material and where there is a booklet's. The book is chosen from the archive, not imposed on it.

  3. A sample chapter, first

    One shiur, written up as it would appear in your sefer, so you can judge the voice before anything else is decided. There is no charge and no commitment.

  4. The manuscript, chapter by chapter

    Each chapter built from your own shiurim, often woven from several tellings of the same idea, with your stories, your mashalim and your sources. You read and mark every chapter on your own review page, and nothing is final until you say so.

  5. Into print

    When the manuscript is yours, it can go to a publisher, or straight to typesetting, cover and print with us. The Complete Sefer takes it all the way to the shelf.

What we produce

Every format, every scale.

A full sefer

A book drawn from a cycle of shiurim, with chapters, a hakdamah, source notes and indexes, for print or for a publisher.

A booklet

A single series or subject: a yom tov collection, a parashah compilation, a sefer for a yahrzeit or a simcha.

The weekly maamar

One shiur a week becomes one written piece a week, ready to print and share with your kehilla, and over a year, the start of a sefer.

An institution's archive

For a yeshiva or an organisation with decades of a rosh yeshiva's shiurim: an ongoing programme, volume by volume.

Your voice

The test is simple: are these your words?

A shiur and a sefer are different things. Spoken Torah repeats itself, circles back, leans on the room; a written page cannot. So the work is not transcription. It is finding the sentence you would have written if you had sat down to write, and keeping everything that makes it yours: your register, whether chassidish, litvish or kiruv; your stories; the way you build to a point.

We add no Torah of our own. If a source is cited, you cited it. If something is missing, we look for it in your other shiurim, not in anyone else's.

Send us one shiur.

A link or a file. We will write it up as a sample chapter, and you can judge for yourself.
