Kol Aliyah קול עלייה

Coming to the App Store and Google Play

Your Torah portion, in your tutor’s voice.

Deuteronomy 30:14
כִּֽי־קָר֥וֹבKi-karov אֵלֶ֛יךָelecha הַדָּבָ֖רhadavar מְאֹ֑דme'od בְּפִ֥יךָbeficha וּבִֽלְבָבְךָ֖uvilvavcha לַעֲשֹׂתֽוֹ׃la'asoto
“For the word is very close to you: in your mouth and in your heart, to do it.”

Press play to hear the verse read aloud by a computer-generated voice. Each word lights up in time with it, the way it will with your tutor’s recording.

Kol Aliyah turns your tutor’s voice note, or a built-in reader, into a reading where every Hebrew word lights up as it’s chanted, with the transliteration beneath each word.

Every tradition

Your family’s melody. From day one.

Kol Aliyah learns from your tutor’s own recording, so the tune your family knows is the tune your son learns, whatever community you come from.

  • Sephardic
  • Ashkenazi
  • Libyan / Tripolitan
  • Persian
  • Kurdish
  • Ethiopian
  • Yemenite

The recording is the content: whatever your tutor chants, the words light up to it.

How it works

Three steps. Then practice anywhere.

  1. Set your date

    Enter the bar mitzvah date and where it will be. Kol Aliyah finds the exact portion, the aliyot and the verses.

  2. Add the voice

    Bring in your tutor’s voice note, or start with a built-in reader. Every word is matched to the recording.

  3. Practice anywhere

    Hear it, see it and say it: on the couch, in the car or at the park. Once it’s set up, it works offline.

  • Slow it downEvery syllable, clearly, at his own pace.
  • Loop a phraseRepeat the hard part until it sticks.
  • Signs, vowels or scrollSwitch between chant marks, vowels and plain scroll letters.
  • Record yourselfHear how you sound, then try again.
  • One-tap videoExport a video to share with family.
  • Works offlineOnce it’s set up, no connection needed.

Why Kol Aliyah

One sentence. Five minutes.

It started with one boy getting ready for his bar mitzvah who doesn’t speak Hebrew. His tutor’s voice note became a reading where each word lit up as it was chanted, with the transliteration beneath it. He learned the sentence in five minutes.

Kol Aliyah brings that to every family, whatever your tradition and wherever you live.
