Accessibility statement

Last updated: 15 November 2026

We want this website to be accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities, and we are working to meet Israel’s equal-rights-for-people-with-disabilities law and its service accessibility regulations, in line with Israeli Standard 5568 (based on WCAG 2.0, level AA).

Accessibility features

  • The site uses semantic HTML with a clear heading structure, page landmarks and a “Skip to content” link on every page.
  • The whole site can be used with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus indicator on every interactive element, including the mobile menu, search and filters.
  • Colors were chosen for sufficient contrast between text and background, and information is not conveyed by color alone.
  • Text can be enlarged up to 200% without loss of content, and the layout adapts to small and large screens.
  • The site is bilingual: Hebrew (right to left) and English (left to right), with the correct language declared on every page and on passages in another language.
  • Forms have visible labels on every field, and error and success messages are announced to screen readers; they can be completed by keyboard.
  • Animations are reduced for people who set that preference in their operating system (prefers-reduced-motion).
  • Videos are embedded from YouTube and rely on YouTube’s player, which offers keyboard control and automatic captions where YouTube provides them.

Testing

The site was checked with an automated accessibility testing tool (axe-core) and with manual checks of keyboard navigation and responsive layout. A full external audit by a certified accessibility specialist has not yet been carried out.

Known limitations

  • AI-generated lesson summaries are based on YouTube’s automatic captions and may contain inaccuracies.
  • Embedded YouTube videos and links to external sites (for example Chabad.org) are outside our control, and their accessibility is determined by their operators.
  • Some content may not yet be fully adapted. If you run into difficulty, please tell us so we can fix it.
