Teaching comes in many forms.
Children never stop learning—whether they're in the classroom, observing their parents, or simply being entertained. And few teaching tools are as powerful as a well-told story.
Bedtime often brings a parade of delays— one more drink of water, “I’m scared in my room”, or just fighting off sleep.
Transform these challenging moments into opportunities for connection and learning.
Jewish Bedtime Stories offers gentle narration and engaging tales that calm restless minds while entertaining young listeners. As children drift off to sleep, they naturally absorb essential Torah values, making bedtime not just peaceful, but meaningful.
Little Listeners, Big Fans!
"I listen to Jewish Bedtime Stories pretty much every day. What makes them so great is that unlike other story apps that use lots of sound effects and noises, these stories are just naturally exciting and relaxing at the same time. The narrator has this really pleasant voice and knows exactly how to tell the dramatic parts without making them too intense.
I love learning new stories from Tanach that we haven't covered in school yet. Plus, each story teaches me something but in a way that doesn't feel like a lecture. The stories are so interesting that my younger siblings actually stay quiet and don't fight while we're listening (which is pretty amazing if you ask me!).
The best part is that there are so many different stories to choose from, and they're all free. Whether I'm getting ready for bed or just want to relax, there's always something good to listen to."

"I really love how Jewish Bedtime Stories brings each story to life! The narrator has this amazing way of adding just the right amount of excitement and feeling to every story. When the class chimes in with their comments, it makes it even more fun - like you're part of the group. Trust me, I once listened to a different storyteller who had zero emotion, and it was SO boring. This is totally different!
Whenever my siblings tell me there's a new Jewish Bedtime Story, I get super excited to hear it. I love how they use such great vocabulary for kids too. My head is full of interesting stories and information, plus it's really relaxing. It's just... different, you know? In a good way!"

Meet the Storyteller
Rabbi Zalman Phillips began telling stories in his classroom in 2014, where he witnessed something extraordinary: children sitting in rapt attention, absorbing Torah values through the magic of storytelling. Seeing this impact, he knew these stories needed to reach beyond his classroom walls - and Jewish Bedtime Stories was born.
The stories quickly captured hearts worldwide. More than just entertainment, they teach values, trust in Hashem, and Torah knowledge through gentle tones and exciting plots that keep even sensitive listeners engaged. Today, over 15,000 listeners tune in each month.
A Word from the Storyteller
"The stories featured here have been shared with my precious students over the years. I've learned that both children and adults connect more deeply with examples than with direct instruction. When hearing about noble deeds, they're inspired to emulate them. When learning about Hashem's miracles, their trust in Him grows stronger.
I've taken great care to emphasize the positive lessons within each story, drawing from authentic sources. With G-d's help, we continue adding new stories regularly, bringing these timeless messages to another generation. Press play and join the growing circle of the Jewish Bedtime Stories family."
More than Just a Story….

“So important for creating a strong foundation in Yidishkeit.”
“Loads of Hakoras hatov for your amazing website. You record and upload so many beautiful stories and parts of Tanach clearly. So many of them have important lessons in Yidishkeit that you try to emphasize.
“My kids (ages 2-9) love listening to them! It has become part of their regular routine as they go to bed. I feel that this is such an easy and positive way for them to learn so many parts of Tanach, as well as to become filled with so many stories of Tzadikim which is so important for creating a strong foundation in Yidishkeit. Please continue with your amazing work!”
