“Library” button: The library function is a very useful tool to search for any text in:

  • תנ"ך

    		•
  • טור
  • גמרא
    		•
  • שולחן ערוך
  • רש"י על ש"ס
    		•
  • רמב"ם

    		•
  • עין משפט

    • When clicking on the library button, a list of the above-mentioned sources is displayed. Clicking on any of the listed sources will open a sub-node list of all sections of the clicked upon source, in a tree structure design.

Clicking on a sub-node will further open an expanded sub-sub-node list of all sections of the clicked upon sub-node.
