Recurring Synagogue Services and Weekly Torah Reading Schedules
Recurring services in iLeyn let a synagogue define a repeating service once, such as Shabbat morning or a weekday minyan, and have iLeyn place draft services on the calendar automatically. Recurring services built on the Jewish calendar can include the correct Torah and Haftarah readings for each date, so administrators do not rebuild the same structure every week.
Set the schedule once
Choose how a service repeats: weekly on a chosen weekday and time, on a Hebrew-calendar holiday, or on a specific yearly date. iLeyn then places the service on the calendar on each matching date instead of asking you to recreate it.
Let the Jewish calendar fill in readings
A weekly Shabbat-morning schedule can follow the annual or triennial cycle and include the Torah portion for each week, with options for the annual maftir and triennial haftarot. Weekday and Mincha schedules can include their appropriate Torah portions as well.
Generate drafts you can still adjust
Recurrences appear as draft services, not finished announcements. Your team can open each upcoming service, make assignments, adjust the readings, and add notes before publishing it to members.
Manage the whole series in one place
The Recurring tab lists your repeating services, and each schedule's details page shows its upcoming and past recurrences. You can edit the series when the format or timing changes.
When a recurring schedule is worth it
Recurring schedules pay off wherever the structure repeats: a weekly Shabbat morning, a daily or weekday minyan, a standing Mincha, or an annual holiday that returns on its Hebrew date. For a one-time program or life-cycle service, a one-off service is simpler. The rule of thumb is that if you would otherwise rebuild the same template on a predictable cadence, a recurring schedule should do it for you, leaving your team to review and staff rather than recreate.
