High Holiday Honors — Now Included with Torah Readers

The Familiar Drill

For most synagogues, the weeks before Rosh Hashanah trigger a ritual that has barely changed in decades.

Pulling out last year's printed sheets to remember who received what.
Negotiating between clergy, gabbai, and office staff.
Phoning members one by one to offer honors.
Tracking responses on paper or in scattered spreadsheets.
Scrambling when honorees can't make it.
Producing clean printed sheets in time for the day of service.

It is time-consuming, error-prone, and the process tends to break down precisely when the stakes are highest. The result is administrative burnout in the run-up to the chag — exactly when your team should be focused on the spiritual preparation of the community.

What It Does

Six things your team stops doing the hard way.

Hours back in the weeks before chag

Generate the entire High Holiday service schedule with a single click. Send invitations to every honoree in one batch. Track acceptances in real time on a single dashboard.

ii.

Continuity, year over year

Save any service as a template, and the system carries every detail forward — service definitions, locations, honor types, page numbers, even prior assignments.

iii.

A modern member experience

Honorees receive a professional, mobile-friendly invitation. They can accept or decline with one tap — no account, no login, no friction.

iv.

Confidence on the day

Print clean, beautifully formatted assignment sheets that show every honor, the estimated time, the page number in your Machzor, and the assigned member.

Built for your community

Customize honor types to match your traditions. Define multiple service locations. Choose ArtScroll, Lev Shalom, or Mishkan HaNefesh — or define your own custom Machzor.

vi.

No new system to learn

The module uses the same admin interface, the same conventions, and the same login as Torah Readers. Your member list is already there. Your team is already trained.

One Dashboard. Every Service.

Every honor, every service, one place.

Open any service and see the full list of honors at a glance — with live metrics showing who has accepted, who has declined, and who has yet to respond. Assign members by typing a name. Add or reorder honors with a click. Send reminders, print the sheet, save the service as a template — all from the same screen.

It works the way High Holiday planning already works in your synagogue. Except it remembers, it doesn't lose papers, and it doesn't get tired.

For Torah Readers Subscribers

Why the integrated version is the better choice.

A standalone version of High Holiday Honors is available for synagogues that don't yet use Torah Readers. But for those who do, the integrated version is meaningfully better — in four specific ways.

Cost

Subscribers pay nothing additional. The module is included as part of the Davening Module at no added cost.

ii.

Member Data

Members already in your Torah Readers system are immediately available for honor assignments. No separate import. No duplicate management.

iii.

Workflow

Same login, same interface conventions, same admin model. Your office staff doesn't need to learn a new platform.

iv.

One Relationship

One subscription, one invoice, one support relationship — covering Torah Readers, the Davening Module, and High Holiday Honors together.

Get Started

Open the module. Start with this year.

The High Holiday Honors module is already enabled on your Torah Readers account. Log in, look for it on your admin toolbar, and you'll be guided through a quick tour the first time you open it. With Rosh Hashanah still months away, this is the ideal moment to set things up calmly — while there's plenty of time to make the templates your own.

Included free with every Torah Readers subscription.

The High Holidays,
Organized.
