The Challenge
A synagogue website goes stale the week it launches. Candle-lighting times change every Friday, the Hebrew calendar does not line up with the Gregorian one, and the volunteer who knew how to edit the site has moved on. Most shuls end up with a page that is wrong more often than right.
The Solution
Candle-lighting, havdalah and the weekly parsha compute themselves from the congregation’s exact location and update every week with nobody touching the site. Around that sits a Hebrew and Gregorian calendar carrying holidays and yahrzeits, an events calendar with RSVPs, and online donations — the four things congregations actually use, bundled rather than assembled from plugins.
