Everything you need to know about TorahScheduler
Direct answers on liturgical models, aliyot calculations, reader communications, and setup.
Yes. TorahScheduler fully supports both the traditional full Annual cycle and the Rabbinical Assembly (Conservative) Triennial cycle. When configured for Triennial, the system automatically determines whether the current Hebrew year is Year 1, Year 2, or Year 3, and calculates the exact chapter and verse boundaries for Aliyot 1 through 7 and Maftir. Synagogue administrators can also define custom verse spans or override specific parashot as needed.
TorahScheduler automates reader communications on two schedules. First, an automated weekly reminder is sent every Thursday morning to all readers assigned for the upcoming Shabbat. Second, synagogues can enable advance reminders that automatically notify readers 7, 14, or 28 days before their service. Emails feature customizable rich-text templates with merge tokens like reader name, service date, parasha name, slot label, service start time, and assigned verse ranges.
