Ma Nishtana

Get ready for the Passover seder by learning to read the Ma Nishtana in Hebrew! Now the robot in your Android(TM) device can help you learn how to pronounce each word of the Ma Nishtana, in the Sephardic robotic style. (Okay, we just made that up.) In no time at all, you'll be reading the Ma Nishtana better than a robot!

The robot voice was produced by the Text-to-Speech system for Android devices. It has a vaguely American accent. The text of the Ma Nishtana is in the Ashkenaz tradition.

The Hebrew text is displayed with the Hebrew in Hand Traditional font. The text is sized to fit your screen, and it is clear and easy-to-read. All vowels (nekudot) are accurately placed. (Would a robot expect less?)

Study each section by tapping a word to hear it. Then say the word by yourself. Use the play button to listen to each section in its entirety, and follow the reading as each word is highlighted. This app reinforces the right-to-left directionality for Hebrew reading.
