Learning mishnayot for the elevation of a soul

Family and friends share out the mishnayot, and each person learns their part. You open a board and send a link to the group. There is no sign-up and no app, and the learning is completed in time for the Shloshim, the end of the eleven months, or the yahrzeit.

How it works

1. You open a board in three steps. Enter the name of the deceased and the date of passing, Hebrew or civil. Choose what to learn: the whole Mishnah (Shas Mishnayot), the letters of the name and Neshamah (נשמה), or both. Then set the date to finish by.
2. Send the board by WhatsApp or by email. The message is already written, and goes to the group in one tap.
3. Everyone takes a part in two taps, with a name and an email address or phone number. They get a personal link with the vocalized mishnah and a "Done" button. The mishnah also reaches them by email, and they can learn straight from it. When they finish, they can also reply to the email with the word "Done".
4. Someone without access to the website does it all by email. Each board has its own email address. Send it an empty email and you get the list of free parts. Reply with the number of a part, and the vocalized mishnah arrives by email. This suits anyone whose filter allows only email.
5. The organizer sees what has been taken, what has been completed and what is at risk. They can assign parts by name to people who learn from a printed sheet, and print an A3 board with a QR code for the house of mourning.
6. A week before the target date, the site sends a reminder. A part nobody has started goes back to the board automatically, so that others can complete it.

Good to know

• It is free. No advertising and no requests for donations.
• The site also works in a filtered browser and on an old phone, with nothing to install and no password. Someone who has only email takes a part, learns and marks it "Done" by email.
• The letters of the name: a mishnah for each letter of the name, and Mikvaot chapter 7, mishnayot 4 to 7, for the letters of Neshamah. A letter that repeats gets a different mishnah. Mishnayot for the letters of a name
• Dates according to halakhah: the yahrzeit by the day of passing, Adar in a leap year according to the Rema (with an option for Adar II), and the 30th of the month according to the Mishnah Berurah.
• Privacy: participants' contact details are deleted 90 days after the siyum. Privacy policy

"Done" is the learner's own statement, and there is no way to check it, just as with the chart hanging in the house of mourning. The text: the vocalized mishnah, Torat Emet edition, in the public domain.
