Reorder, hide, or add the blocks on your home page.
While this is open, every block on the page carries its own bar: drag it by the handle to move it, set its width to a third, a half, two thirds or full, or remove it — removed blocks wait in the tray at the foot of the page. This list does the same with buttons, for when a drag is the wrong tool. The moment you change anything the layout becomes Custom — a preset is a starting point, not a cage.

These carry no licence: all rights reserved by their author, shared with one named cohort. They are absent from the index, the search, the topic counts and their author’s page — not hidden behind a lock, because the existence of a cohort is a fact about people.
Cohort sharing is turned off
No new paper can be shared with a cohort while this is off. The papers below were shared before it was turned off and stay with their cohorts — turning it off does not publish them. Only their author can do that, and it cannot be undone.
A demo control, so the gate can be seen refusing. Access is granted per paper, not per enrolment — a student who has left keeps what they were given and receives nothing new.

Publishing puts this under CC BY 4.0. Anyone may keep and republish this copy for ever, with attribution — including after you delete it here. A CC licence cannot be withdrawn.

Shalshelet · the chain
{{ shalTitle }}
{{ shalHe }}
{{ shalStandfirst }}
{{ shalNote }}
Ask a question. Get a chain.
Name an issue — what defines a private domain, carrying on Shabbat, kindling — and Meldar lists the discussions that turn on it. Pick one and it finds the passage the later authorities actually took up, follows it down the canon and fetches each one’s own words.
This is a reading list in the order of the literature, not a chain of reasoning. Meldar can tell you that the Tur treats this passage and that the Tur is 14th century. It cannot tell you whether he codified it, narrowed it or disagreed — that is a relation, and a person has to read the two and say so. The chain at the top of this page is what that looks like once someone has.
These rule on the same sugya and are cited in Peninei Halakha’s notes. No digital source we can use carries their text, so they are named here rather than rendered — the gap is ours, not the tradition’s.
{{ r.work }} {{ r.loc }}{{ r.posek }}text not available to us
Sefaria records that these texts touch. It does not record what one authority did to another’s ruling — that is a relation, and only a person can enter one. These are candidates to read, not a chain.
Nothing in Sefaria’s link data points here. That is a fact about their index, not about the passage.
Composing, setting and printing a siddur is a different job from learning in one — a different person, a different session, usually a different machine — and it was the heaviest thing in this app by a wide margin. Measured here on 20 August: opening this route mounted 21,254 extra nodes in 5,941 ms, paid for by everyone who came to read.
The builder is the same engine, not a rewrite — it loads the same three modules this app does (the siddur data, the interlinear engine, the package layer) and copies none of them. Your saved siddur is the same document in the same place, so it opens there exactly as it stood here.
Nothing was deleted: this route still exists, the readers the paper importer borrows from the builder are untouched, and the benschers and the printed-page path stay here.
The index · what is on the shelf
{{ canonTitle }}

Colour is period. Size is weight in the tradition — the Torah is not the same size as the minor tractates, and an index that pretended otherwise would be teaching something false.
Nothing on the shelf answers to that. Try a book, a Hebrew title, or clear the search.

AI tutor
A study partner, not an oracle
It will not talk without a text in front of it. It cites what it says or refuses to say it. It asks before it answers — and when you would rather it just answered, that is one button away. It never rules on halacha: a question about what to do goes to a person before anything is generated.
A kehila, a discussion, a study group with seats and a class feed are one kind of thing here: a room with members, a steward and a door. Public to browse, by request, or invite only.
A room needs three members and a steward before it appears in Discover. Until then it is a proposal — the same discipline as a minyan that has not made ten.
Nothing has been posted in this room. The Welcome tab says what it is for.

Velada
Nights the beth midrash has an address
Velada — Ladino for an evening spent together. Meldar means to study; a velada is what happens when the studying gets up and goes somewhere.
No minyan matches all of those. Turn a filter off.

Marketplace · Shuk
Books, Judaica & more
Books, things people make, teaching, food and gemachim — all offered by the people who own them. Their terms, their price.
Offer something
Anything you sell, teach, make or lend goes up the same way. You set the terms.
{{ shkOfFee }}
Pick what it is and the rest of the form follows.
How they pay you
A gemach has no price and no way to pay for it. That is the whole point of one.
Meldar never certifies a teacher’s authority, and listing here is not an endorsement. Anyone deciding whether to learn with you should ask you, and ask their own rabbi.
Nobody has a copy of this edition for sale. It stays in the catalogue so you can see what exists.
Three ways a book can reach you
Which one applies is the publisher's decision, not ours. Where a publisher will license us freely you get the first; where one insists on encryption you get the third, and where one insists and we cannot meet the terms you get nothing, and the card says so.

See sources/opensiddur.md.
Printing it

{{ podRule }}
No printer is wired up. Choosing one is a business decision and nothing in the code waits on it.
A gemach lends and gives; it does not sell. Nothing here has a price and nothing here is charged. Ask, and the owner gets your name — what happens next is between the two of you.

Where you learn · who can see it

By default, each institution sees only what you did with it — your other schools and programmes are invisible to it. Turning one public is the only way another institution can see that record on your profile. Your conversion decision is never here — that stays with your Beth Din.

Guardians & observers
{{ gvSummary }}
An observer — a parent, a mentor — can look in on your study at one institution and nothing else. They only read: they can never post, message, submit or grade, and they never see your other institutions. The institution decides what it will ever share; you decide what each observer actually sees, and you can revoke it in one tap. Your conversion, if you are converting anywhere, is never part of this.
Nobody is observing your study. Invite someone below if you'd like them to follow along at one of your institutions.

Certificates you've earned
{{ mcSummary }}
Each certificate is issued by the institution that taught you, in its name — never by Meldar. It records study: lessons completed, reviews done, a recitation attested. It is not a conversion certificate and says nothing about conversion — that decision rests only with your Beth Din. Publishing one adds it to your public profile; leaving it off keeps it yours alone.
No certificates yet. As you reach the milestones in your classes, the institution can issue one — and it will appear here for you to publish or keep private.

This court decides your conversion. Where you study and who converts you are separate — your schools (right) are not your converting authority, and the platform issues no decision. Public details, for reference; roles to be confirmed with the Beth Din.
Where I study
Your learning is spread across a few places. None of them is your converting authority — the Beth Din decides.
Machon MeirJerusalem · in person
A regular student. Conversion candidates here follow the same shiurim, so your classes overlap theirs — but you are converting through London, not Machon Meir.
Shavei IsraelOnline classes
Runs its own conversion track under the Chief Rabbinate of Israel (Jerusalem Beth Din). You attend the online classes only — not converting through them.

Beth Din progress report

A read-only summary your registrar and dayanim can open by link.
Everything you're studying, gathered by institution — every school, yeshiva and programme you belong to. Each institution sees only what you do with it; whether you are converting there or just taking classes is shown here for your eyes only. Your conversion decision is never here — that stays with your Beth Din.
Turn on the Classroom suite in Admin → Feature Flags to see your learning here.
You're not enrolled anywhere yet. When a school, yeshiva or programme enrolls you, your classes appear here.
Self-study tools
Study on your own from any assigned passage — nothing here is graded.
Classroom & teaching · schools & yeshivot
The Classroom Suite
Remote education for a school or yeshiva teaching a curriculum — with its own vocabulary (School · Class · Teacher · Curriculum · Grade) and its own reporting chain. This is a separate product from Gyur: there is no Beth Din here and the platform issues no decision. Each institution sees only its own studies unless a learner publishes it.

Classroom · teaching structure
Curriculum
Each institution's teaching structure — departments → classes → units → lessons. You see only the institutions you belong to, and you edit within your own scope. A teaching surface only: what appears here is independent of any track a learner follows elsewhere.

Classroom · roster · enrolment · grading
Roster & Grading
Manage one class at a time — enrol & remove learners, assign lessons with due dates, and grade against a rubric. Everything is scoped to the institution you're viewing and to what your role manages. A learner's converting / classes-only chip comes from their membership — shown to staff, never used to grade. Grades stay inside this institution and never touch any conversion decision.
Roster & grading is a staff surface. Switch to a staff role — Admin, Lead, Coordinator or Teacher — to manage a class roster.

Spaced review & mastery
{{ shInstName }} only · the learner's own spaced-repetition cards
The learner's personal spaced-repetition study filed under this institution — cards they scheduled themselves and how well each topic has stuck (matured vs still learning). Institution-scoped like everything here: their review at another institution is a separate record. Descriptive study data — it never affects, and is never derived from, grades or a conversion decision.

Observations
{{ shInstName }} only · descriptive, never a decision
A short annotation on this learner's profile — e.g. converting-with-us vs classes-only, a readiness or pastoral flag. It belongs to this institution; another institution sees it only if the learner publishes this institution on their profile. It never affects a conversion decision.
Recorded against {{ shInstName }} only. Descriptive — this never affects a conversion decision.
You can read observations in your scope but cannot add them here.
Finance
{{ shInstName }} only · payments, scholarship, stipend & residency
A lightweight ledger at this institution — tuition & payments, scholarships, stipends and living-in. Institution-scoped: a scholarship here is invisible elsewhere. It never affects, and is never derived from, grades, attendance or a conversion decision.
Recorded against {{ shInstName }} only. Finance never affects a conversion decision.
◆Showing activity for {{ shInstName }} only. The same learner at another institution has a separate, disjoint record — and nothing here reflects or feeds a conversion decision (that stays on the Gyur track, with the Beth Din). Readiness and decision notes never appear on this teaching surface.
Classroom · analytics
Stats & Graphs
Class and cohort dashboards for one institution — completion, grades, engagement, at-risk learners and mastery. Aggregates count only this institution's activity, so a multi-enrolled learner's work elsewhere never inflates the numbers — and nothing here reflects a conversion decision.

Classroom · reporting chain
Reports
Send a report up the teaching chain — teacher → department coordinator → school / program lead — within one institution.

Pick a pack, or override a single term. Nothing is locked in code — a name change reaches every label after one reload.
Every activity and grade row is stamped with the institution it belongs to. Staff reads go through historyFor(studentId, orgId) — a school never sees a yeshiva's or a Gyur program's data, and vice-versa. A learner opens cross-institution visibility only by publishing a specific institution on their profile.

Permissions
Delegated management cascades admin → school-lead / director → department coordinator → teacher, each scoped to what they own via can(action, ctx). Delegation grants management within scope — never cross-institution visibility. Teaching ≠ deciding: nothing here touches the conversion decision (Beth Din, Gyur path). Switch the “Signed in as” role to see each scope bite.
Reports arrive here already routed to the space they came from. Only categories that are a matter of law leave that space — everything else is judged by the people whose room it is.

Reuse audit
The classroom suite reuses the gyur & reader building blocks rather than duplicating them — one editor, one resource model, one reader, one report mechanic, one chart set, one notes/visibility model — while keeping authority separate. Every figure below is read live from the classroom data, so it tracks the seed, your edits and reset. Teaching ≠ deciding.

Interoperability
What Meldar exports and imports, and to which standard or product. Every entity carries a stable sourcedId and metadata, and everything flows through one interopAdapter seam — local files today, a SaaS SDK later without touching any caller.
Exporting today
{{ c.k }}{{ c.lab }}
{{ ixLivePill }}
Export & syncstub-first · local files today, one adapter per target
Scopeisolation holds — you export only what you govern
Target adaptersame method names — swap the body, not the UI
Drop a OneRoster CSV to create or update institutions, classes, people and enrolments. Idempotent on sourcedId — re-importing the same file changes nothing. You get a preview before anything is written.
The whole map runs through one interopAdapter with fixed method names — exportRoster · exportGrades · exportActivity · importRoster … — whose default bodies write local files. Pointing a target at Clever, Google Classroom or FACTS swaps only the body; no caller changes. Isolation holds on export: an institution exports only its own scoped data; admin can export across institutions. Prompt 21 builds the per-domain export/import UI on this seam.

Sync is not a second code path: an envelope is built by the same pure builders as every export and delivered by the same interopAdapter target — syncPush · syncPull · syncStatus sit beside exportRoster · importRoster. Because a batch is grouped by orgId before it is built, one push carries exactly one institution; isolation is structural, not a promise. And no amount of queued teaching data adds up to a decision — that stays with the Beth Din.

Turned off for this institution
The supervision dashboard holds the conversion dossier: the candidate cohort, their meetings, and the private role-notes of tutor, program, dayan and Av Beth Din.
Until now it was the one destination with no off switch — an institution could not decline to hold it. It is off by default.
Turn it on at Admin → Feature flags → Governance, where the institution can also see what it is agreeing to hold.

Certificates are issued by the institution, in its own name — Meldar never issues one. A certificate records study only: it is not a conversion certificate, and it is never evidence for a conversion decision. That decision belongs solely to a Beth Din.
No certificates issued for this class yet. They appear here once a milestone that carries one is reached and the institution issues it.
