Luach: Custom Torah Readings for Local Synagogue Minhag
Luach: Custom Torah Readings for Local Synagogue Minhag
Luach lets a synagogue define its own passages for a given Parsha so iLeyn matches local custom instead of the default generated reading. Administrators save a Luach entry once, and iLeyn uses it by default whenever it builds the reading for that Parsha.
Match your community's reading custom
Congregations vary in how they divide and read a Parsha. Luach lets you set the exact passages your community reads for a specific Parsha, so services reflect your minhag rather than a generic default.
Luach entries replace the generated reading
A saved Luach entry fully replaces the passages iLeyn would otherwise generate for that Parsha. When you create a service for that Parsha, the custom reading is applied by default, so you do not have to re-edit it each time.
Build the passages the way you need them
The Luach editor lets you choose the reading type and build the passages, adding, editing, resetting, or removing sections as needed. You start from a template and adjust until the reading matches your custom.
Manage Luach entries from one place
Your organization settings list every Parsha grouped by book, with a clear marker showing which already have a Luach entry. That makes it easy to see where you have customized readings and where you are still on the defaults.
When a Luach entry is the right tool
Add a Luach entry when your community consistently reads a Parsha differently from the generated default, whether that means a different aliyah division, an abbreviated portion, or a local custom for a specific week. It is a per-Parsha decision, not a global one, so you customize only the readings that differ and let your calendar setup handle the rest. Because it applies by default going forward, one entry quietly corrects every future service for that Parsha.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Luach entry?
A Luach entry is a custom set of passages your organization defines for a specific Parsha. It replaces the passages iLeyn would generate by default for that Parsha.
Does a Luach entry change services I already created?
Luach entries apply when iLeyn generates the reading for that Parsha, such as new and recurring services, rather than rewriting services whose passages you have already set.
Who can create or edit Luach entries?
Luach entries are managed by administrators from the organization settings.
Can I remove a Luach entry later?
Yes. Removing a Luach entry restores the default generated passages for that Parsha.
