@aryhe4791 Thanks for this. Looks like we'll still need to request permission from Sefaria but that looks like a formality. I see that Zimit yielded a 3.36MB file, which is not very good news (the website is, in fact, pretty sophisticated) and means we'll need to build an ad hoc scraper.

Thanks. They have a github account, here: https://github.com/Sefaria

@Popolechien Sorry for the question, but I'm really new here .... How long does it take to build such a thing? Hours, days, months, years .... Of course without pressure, just for interest. Thanks!
