Rabbi Moishy Goldstein, an educator and music producer in Crown Heights, has created a new Kosher chatbot, https://kosher.chat.
The Crown Heights resident has created the chatbot which he says creates answers that are “Kosher” and filtered to be aligned with Torah values.
The impetus to create the Kosher chatbot was the recent news that Rabbis in New Square have banned the use of all Artificial Intelligence tools that contradict Torah values and are equivalent to unfiltered internet.
In what is believed to be a first-of-its-kind ban, more than a dozen rabbanim and dayanim from the Skver chasidus have signed a strongly worded letter Rabbinically prohibiting the use of AI chatbots, YWN reported.
The letter, first released on Thursday, mentions OpenAI, the company behind artificial intelligence marvel ChatGPT, but makes it clear that it is not speaking of only that developer’s products, which they write, “is strictly prohibited in every way and form, even on a simple phone.”
“The severity of the danger is not yet clear and obvious to everyone,” the letter states, noting that it poses, in the eyes of the rabbanim, a critical danger to Frum Jews.
“AI chatbots can provide completely unfiltered access to apikorsus, lewd and perverse content, and all the issurim of ‘lo sasuru acharei levavchem,'” the public announcement says, so they are included in the ban of using unfiltered internet.
Goldstein has just released the new chatbot, and says it is a solution to the unfiltered chatbots which can return any result.
“Kosher.Chat responses are all aligned with Torah values, and the chat provides a safe, Kosher and secure environment for frum users,” he says. “Nevertheless,” he cautions, “it is by no means a replacement for an ordained rabbi and should not be relied upon for practical Halacha questions.”
Goldstein requests users to test-drive the platform to check for any answers that are not aligned with Torah and to report these findings so that the AI model can be further trained to be more aligned with our Torah, Toras Emes.

Thank you for creating this kosher and safe platform
What is the study cycle for Rambam?
The study cycle for the Rambam, also known as Maimonides, is to complete his entire Mishneh Torah, a comprehensive code of Jewish law, in one year. This is achieved by studying three chapters per day, along with the corresponding commentary of Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki, also known as Rashi. The cycle begins on the first day of Nissan and concludes on the last day of Adar.
There’s a feedback button on the website to report incorrect answers so that the model can be better trained
What is the study cycle for Tanya?
The study cycle for the Tanya, a foundational text of Chabad Hasidic philosophy, is to complete it once every year. This is typically achieved by studying one chapter per day, with breaks on Shabbat and Jewish holidays. The cycle begins on the 19th of Kislev, which is celebrated as the “New Year” of Chassidut, and concludes on the same date the following year.
What is the study cycle for Hayom Yom?
The study cycle for Hayom Yom, a daily spiritual guidebook compiled by the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, is to read one page per day. The book is divided into 365 short entries, each corresponding to a day of the year, and provides insights and guidance on Jewish life and spirituality. The cycle begins on the first day of Tishrei, which is celebrated as Rosh Hashanah, and concludes on the last day of Elul.
Which types of work are permitted on shabbos? According to Torah law, all forms of creative work are prohibited on Shabbos. This includes activities such as writing, cooking, and building. However, there are certain types of work that are permitted on Shabbos under specific conditions. These include actions necessary for the health and safety of an individual, such as medical treatment or extinguishing a fire. Additionally, actions related to the performance of mitzvot (commandments) are also permitted, such as reading from the Torah or lighting candles. It is important to consult with a competent halachic authority before engaging in any… Read more »
When the internet started to explode in the early ’90s, the Rebbe was very encouraging to Yosef Kazen to use the internet to spread Yoddishkeit. I believe the same logic applies here. Don’t ban, use it for good. This is Shitas Chabad.
Rabbi kazen was the shliach for the internet. Doesn’t mean everyone should use the internet.
Shitas Chabad is to lean Torah and do motzvos and bring Moshiach!
There are several sichos of the rebbe thinking about this explicitly (regarding satellites, being able to broadcast across the world)
Nice to get started on this kosher one of AI.
Much success to the endeavor.
