Shul programs
Seats, honors, dues, yahrzeits, the shul screen
- Set up your seats (sections and seat numbers)
Set up your sections and seat numbers once — men's shul, Ezras Nashim, the beis medrash — with a usual price. Then you can sell them every year.
5 steps · Owners & admins - Sell seats for the Yamim Noraim
Sell one or more seats to a family for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur — one commitment is made for the total, so bills and pay links work as usual.
6 steps · Office staff - Renew last year's seat holders
Give every family the same seats they had last year, for the new year, with a new commitment at this year's price — in one click.
5 steps · Owners & admins - Bill seat holders and release a seat
Send a pay link to every seat holder who still owes, and free up a seat when a family gives it back.
4 steps · Office staff - Record aliyos and honors on Shabbos and bill them
Log each aliyah or honor as it's given — Shlishi, Maftir, Pesicha, Kol Nidre. An amount becomes a מתנה בלי נדר commitment on the person, ready to bill.
6 steps · Office staff - Change the list of honors (kibbudim)
Add, remove or reorder the honors in the "Honor" dropdown — your shul's own list of aliyos and kibbudim.
4 steps · Owners & admins - Set up membership plans and run dues
Create plans (e.g. Family $1,200 a year), add members, and Yahiv bills the dues every period by itself — by card if they chose that, otherwise by email or text.
6 steps · Owners & admins - Charge dues to a card automatically
Choose a member's saved card so each period's dues are charged by themselves — no bill, no chasing.
5 steps · Office staff - Members behind on dues
See every member who owes dues, how much, and send all of them a pay link at once.
4 steps · Office staff - Add a yahrzeit with the Hebrew date
Save a yahrzeit (or a birthday, bar mitzvah, anniversary) by Hebrew date — or type the English date and Yahiv works out the Hebrew one. Each year's date is calculated for you.
6 steps · Office staff - Yahrzeits in Adar and other special dates (leap years) — explained simply
Which Adar a yahrzeit falls in during a leap year, and what happens to the 30th of a month that doesn't always have 30 days.
6 steps · Office staff - Yahrzeit reminders to the office and to the family
Before each yahrzeit, staff get a task and an alert — and, if you choose, the family gets a gentle reminder by email or the donor app.
5 steps · Office staff - Sponsorships: Kiddush, Shalosh Seudos and more
List what people can sponsor — a day, a week or a Hebrew month — with the price. Every booking becomes a pledge with a pay link, and it shows on a calendar.
7 steps · Office staff - Book a Kiddush sponsor
Book someone for a Shabbos Kiddush with their dedication. It becomes a pledge on their account with a pay link.
5 steps · Office staff - Parnas HaYom, HaShavua and HaChodesh with prices
Set up Parnas HaYom (a day), Parnas HaShavua (a week) and Parnas HaChodesh (a Hebrew month) in one step. Bookings become pledges and show on the shul screen.
6 steps · Office staff - "Not back yet": rebook last year's sponsors
See every day, week or month of the Jewish year with who has it now and who had the same one last year — and book last year's sponsors again in one click.
5 steps · Office staff - Let people sponsor online (the public sponsorship page)
Share one link where people pick a Kiddush, a day of learning or a Parnas HaYom, see which dates are open, and pay by card.
5 steps · Office staff - Set up the shul screen (layouts, colors, zmanim)
A big screen for the shul lobby or beis medrash: yahrzeits, davening times, shiurim, the day's zmanim, Parnas HaYom and announcements — in Hebrew, Yiddish or English. It updates by itself.
8 steps · Owners & admins - Minyanim and shiurim on the shul screen
Add davening times and shiurim — at a set time, or set from a zman (like Mincha 15 minutes before shkiah) so they move by themselves every day.
7 steps · Owners & admins - Announcements and Parnas HaYom on the shul screen
Put shul announcements (מודעות) on the screen for the dates you choose, and add a free Parnas HaYom dedication.
5 steps · Owners & admins - Memorial plaques and yahrzeits on the shul screen
Add your memorial plaques with their Hebrew dates so the week's yahrzeits light up on the screen — along with yahrzeits saved on people's profiles.
5 steps · Office staff - Show the shul screen full-screen on a Windows PC (kiosk launcher)
Download a small file that opens the shul screen truly full screen — no taskbar, no address bar — and have it start by itself whenever the computer turns on.
6 steps · Owners & admins - The Yizkor list for Yom Kippur
Make a Yizkor list with a suggested donation per name. Families add their own names online, and the list prints in large Hebrew type for the bimah.
6 steps · Office staff - Book the hall and bill it
Keep track of who has the hall or a room when. Take requests online, confirm them, and the rent becomes a commitment you can bill and they can pay online.
6 steps · Office staff - Tribute cards (in honor / in memory of)
When someone gives in honor or in memory of someone, Yahiv can email an e-card to the family or queue a printed card for you to mail. The amount is never shown.
6 steps · Office staff - Shabbos & Yom Tov: hold messages and charges
From candle lighting until after havdalah, Yahiv sends nothing and charges nothing — texts, emails, calls, receipts and recurring charges wait. You can close your giving pages too.
