Dedicate one day's learning, in someone's name.

A yahrzeit is coming, someone is ill, a child is getting married. Dedicate that day's page, and the name stands at the head of it for everyone who opens it — not on a website, inside the learning itself.

What it looks like

At the head of the page, above the first line, in one line: לעילוי נשמת ר׳ יעקב בן ר׳ משה ז״ל, and the Hebrew date. No banner, no image, nothing that interrupts the reading. Whoever learns that page that day sees it, and then learns.

For someone departed the custom is the father's name; for someone living, the mother's. The payment page asks for both and says which is which.

Payment through Stripe. The name, the father's or mother's name, and the Hebrew date are asked on the payment page. A receipt is emailed. A dedication is the purchase of a service, not a donation, and is not tax deductible. Cancellable within 14 days.

A yahrzeit comes back every year

A dedication in memory is kept with its Hebrew date. In the app you can ask for a reminder a week before, next year too — with no automatic charge and no subscription. We remind you; you decide.
