How it works
Kitzur AI answers your questions using only the words of the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch of Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried — nothing else. Ask in plain English or Hebrew; it finds the relevant passages, and replies with a short answer that points to the exact place in the sefer.
Grounded in one sefer, one voice
Unlike general “AI rabbi” tools that blend many sources — and can drift into rulings no single work actually says — Kitzur AI stays inside a single authoritative work. The Kitzur is a standalone Acharon; the mechaber Ganzfried is the only voice here. It never brings other poskim and never synthesizes across a machlokes.
When the Kitzur is silent, it says so
If the sefer does not address your question, Kitzur AI tells you plainly instead of guessing. That honest silence is the point: a study tool you can trust not to invent a halacha is worth more than one that always has something to say.
Every answer shows its sources
Each response cites the specific siman and seif it drew from, and you can open the full bilingual text in the reader to check it yourself. The retrieved passages are shown with a match-strength label so you can see how directly they bear on your question.
A study aid, not a posek
Kitzur AI is a reference and study aid. It is not a posek, does not issue psak, and must not be relied upon for practical halacha — and an AI can still misread or misstate the text. For any practical question, consult a qualified rav, and verify an answer against the cited seif. See our Terms of Use for more.
Hebrew and English
The Hebrew is the Torat Emet edition (Public Domain); the English is the Metsudah Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, translated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis (Metsudah Publications, 1996), licensed CC-BY 4.0 — both via Sefaria. The app is free and needs no account.
