Glossary

If a word flashed by in the app and felt unfamiliar — here are short definitions without academic fog.

Telegram Mini App
An app that runs inside Telegram — no App Store install and no separate password.
Learn
The bottom-nav hub for wisdom, quiz, and the weekly portion — all learning in one place.
Rabbi's Wisdom
A short teaching from Jewish tradition with an exact source citation. On the home screen it appears as “Wisdom of the day”.
Quiz
A multiple-choice question with a sourced explanation — not just right/wrong.
Practice
Quiz mode with random questions — not tied to a single topic.
Path
In the quiz — themed tracks (holidays, ethics, halakhah, and more). In the weekly portion — a year map of Shabbat parashot: completed, current, and upcoming weeks.
Weekly portion
The section about this week’s parasha. Three tabs: Days, Reading, and Path.
Параша / Parasha
The weekly Torah portion — the stretch of text communities read this week.
Days
A tab in the weekly portion: 5–7 short steps for the week — one idea, quote, and reflection question per day.
Reading
The tab with a sourced parasha explanation: a one-minute gist, main text, and a reflection question.
Sparks
Progress points for learning and quests. How you earn and spend them.
Streak
How many days in a row you’ve learned. Miss a day — a streak freeze can save it (or Kosher includes freezes).
Quests
Daily mini-goals on the home screen: wisdom, quiz, weekly portion, and more. Completing them earns sparks.
Partner quests
Tasks from channels and Jewish organizations — subscribe, watch, quiz. A separate Quests tab in the nav.
Rankings
Leaderboard: Weekly Sparks (learning and game, resets on Sundays) and Shabbat Runner high scores.
Tanya Yomi
The daily study cycle through the Tanya. In Torah App — “Tanya Yomi: Wisdom” (morning) and “Tanya Yomi: Quiz” (evening) newsletters.
Daf Yomi
The daily Talmud study cycle. Torah App’s Daf Yomi newsletters are temporarily paused.
Shabbat Runner
