How each week's booklet is made
Every text starts on Sefaria. Where Sefaria has a published English translation, Torahform prints it exactly as published. What is classic is measured, not guessed: the passages most cited on Sefaria's source sheets.
Works with no English translation are translated by AI, following a house style and a glossary of terms kept in transliteration, and marked "AI translation" wherever they appear. Summaries and card lines are written by AI and marked "AI summary". Each translation is checked against its glossary terms and a list of renderings to avoid, and those printed in the booklet, with every card, are read again by a second model beside the Hebrew; what it or the checks flag goes to a person to review.
Earlier issues may have used other models; each issue's own record keeps the ones it used.
