Your child will walk into synagogue ready and confident.
mitzva.io teaches students to chant their Torah portion word by word with their rabbi's audio — then lets them practice out loud, hear how they did, and understand every verse. Built with rabbis and cantors for the way kids actually learn today.
Your child's parasha · Built with rabbis & cantors
One tool that works for everyone preparing the student
Parents, teacher and rabbi each get exactly what they need — while the student does the practicing.
Practice you can actually oversee
See the countdown to the big day and exactly which aliyot are ready. At home they practice with the same recordings your rabbi uses in lessons — so synagogue day feels familiar.
A tool that reinforces your lessons
Assign portions and vocabulary, then let students drill letters, nikud, and trope between sessions. They arrive to class having already practiced out loud.
Your melody, in their pocket
Upload your parasha recordings and students practice with your voice all week. Assign portions, track progress, and reinforce what you teach between sessions.
From first letter to synagogue day
A clear path that meets students wherever they are — whether they read Hebrew fluently or are just starting out.
Chant along, word by word
Every word lights up in time with your rabbi's recording. Loop a tricky phrase, slow it to 0.75× or 0.5×, or hide the vowels to read scroll-style — for whatever they'll read on the big day.
Practice out loud, get feedback
Students sing into the mic and instantly see a pitch and pronunciation score, colored word by word. They know exactly which words to work on next.
Understand what they're chanting
Plain-English verse guides answer "what's happening in this aliyah?" and quick quizzes check that the meaning lands — not just the melody.
Build the reading basics
New to Hebrew? Friendly games teach the letters, the vowel marks, and the words in your portion before the chanting even begins.
Designed for a 12-year-old, not a scholar
Students see one clear task at a time, hear a friendly "you got it," and build momentum with streaks and badges. It feels like the apps they already love — which means they'll actually keep practicing.
- Clean, uncluttered screens — no overwhelm
- Short practice sets they can finish in minutes
- Instant feedback that feels like a game, not a test
- Streaks, badges, and levels that keep them coming back
A plan that counts down to the big day
Set the ceremony date and choose how much to read. mitzva.io maps out a practice schedule, tracks reading, trope, words, and meaning for every aliyah, and shows at a glance whether the student is ahead, on track, or needs a little catch-up.
Rabbis can add their parasha recordings
Upload your aliyot and students read along word by word with your melody at home. mitzva.iosupports your teaching — it doesn't replace the relationship you build at synagogue.
Common questions
Everything families, teachers, and rabbis usually ask before getting started.
What is mitzva.io?
mitzva.io is a bar and bat mitzvah practice platform. Students chant their Torah portion word by word with their rabbi's audio, practice out loud with instant feedback, and learn what each verse means — all in one place.
Who is it for?
Students preparing for bar or bat mitzvah, parents who want visibility into progress, Hebrew teachers who assign work between lessons, and rabbis and cantors who want students practicing with authentic melody all week.
Does my child need to know Hebrew already?
Not necessarily. Friendly foundation games teach the letters, vowel marks (nikud), and trope before chanting begins. Students who already read Hebrew can jump straight to their portion.
Will it work for our parasha?
Set your ceremony date and how much your child will read — one aliyah, maftir, triennial cycle, and more. The platform builds a practice plan around their parasha and tracks every aliyah.
How does the chanting practice work?
Every word lights up in time with your rabbi's recording. Students can loop tricky phrases, slow the audio, or hide vowels to read scroll-style. When they sing into the mic, they get instant pitch and pronunciation feedback, word by word.
Can our rabbi or cantor use it too?
Yes. Rabbis and cantors can upload their parasha recordings so students practice with the right melody between lessons. Rabbis can assign portions, follow progress, and know that home practice matches what you teach at synagogue.
What devices does it work on?
Any modern phone, tablet, or computer with a web browser and microphone. Practice at home, on the go, or wherever fits your family's schedule.
How do I know if we're on track?
Set the ceremony date and the platform maps out a practice schedule. A dashboard tracks story, vocabulary, trope, and chanting for every aliyah — so parents, teachers, and rabbis can see at a glance whether the student is ahead, on track, or needs a little catch-up.
Give them the confidence to read like they own it
