What is SimpleToRemember.com (Judaism Online)?

Updated

SimpleToRemember.com is an independent Judaism resource site that collects hand-picked articles, audio, and video on Jewish belief, history, holidays, and daily life. Its own tagline describes the material as "only the good stuff," free, and requiring no sign-up. You can browse the site without creating an account; the only optional action is subscribing to a newsletter. It is a curated library, not an official rabbinic body or denominational authority, so treat the content as educational material rather than binding religious ruling.

What you'll find on the site

The homepage organizes content into a few main areas:

  • Featured – a highlighted item, for example the short film The Mystery of the Jews, described as exploring who the Jews are and their impact on the world, with commentary from historians, world leaders, and authors.
  • Top Judaism Articles – a rotating list of popular written pieces, such as "Is There A Creator In The World?", "A Rational Approach to the Torah's Divine Origin," "Why Do People Hate The Jews?", "Different Sects of Judaism," and "Why Don't Jews Believe In Jesus?"
  • Top Audio & Video – talks and films, including "A Rational Approach To The Divine Origin of Judaism," "Why Be Jewish?", "The 7 Wonders of Jewish History," and "Genesis & The Big Bang Theory."
  • Action – prompts to learn more about Judaism, sign up for the newsletter, or find trips to Israel.

Topic categories

Browsing is also organized by subject, which is useful if you already know what you want to read about:

How to use it

  1. Open the homepage and scan Featured or Top Judaism Articles for a starting point.
  2. Use the category list to narrow down by topic instead of browsing everything.
  3. For video content, play it on the page; the site notes an alternative link if a video won't load.
  4. If you want updates, use the newsletter sign-up. This is optional — the site states no sign-up is needed to access the material.

Things to keep in mind

  • Cost: The site describes its content as "all free." A "Subscribe" link exists, but it points to newsletter sign-up rather than a stated paid tier; the page evidence does not show payment platforms or a paywall.
  • Independence: SimpleToRemember.com presents itself as a curated collection ("hand-picked"), not an official institution. For personal religious decisions, cross-check with a qualified rabbi or your community.
  • Scope: Content leans toward explanatory and philosophical topics aimed at people exploring or deepening Jewish knowledge, rather than serving as a formal study program.
