Orah for schools

Daily Jewish practice your students will actually do.

Orah gives every student a short daily list of mitzvot, a streak, and a circle with their class. Houses compete on weekly leaderboards. Every mitzvah earns real money for the school's chosen charities. Teachers see the whole picture. Students see their friends.

🏫

School-branded experience

Your school's name, logo, tab labels, charities and daily wisdom. Pirkei Avot, one mishnah a day, for the whole school.

🏆

Class and house circles

Every class gets a circle. Houses get leaderboards. A fresh week every week keeps it going all year.

📣

Announcements and events

Post school announcements and events into the app, and see who's going.

🤲

A school-wide charity wallet

Students' mitzvot fund the school's own charities and foundation. Watch the school's total grow.

🔒

Safe by design

Verified staff accounts, private profiles, content moderation, blocking and reporting. No ads, no outside algorithm.

📊

Engagement reports

Mitzvot per day, active students, circle participation and which houses are leading, shared with your school.

Why schools use Orah

Jewish schools work hard to make Jewish life meaningful outside the classroom, and it's hard to see whether it lands. Orah makes daily practice visible and social. A student who says Modeh Ani because their house is three points behind has still said Modeh Ani, and most keep going long after the leaderboard stops mattering.

How a school rollout works

Orah already runs in schools, with segmentation built into the app.

  • ●Set up: We configure your school in Orah: name, logo, charities, the mitzvah list for your community, and Pirkei Avot as daily wisdom.
  • ●Onboard: Students sign up and pick their school and class. Teachers get verified accounts.
  • ●Launch: Circles for each class and house, a launch leaderboard, and the first week's bonus mitzvot.
  • ●Run: Fresh leaderboards every week, announcements, events, and a growing school charity total.

Built for the Jewish calendar

Orah locks for Shabbat and Yom Tov, so there's never pressure on a rest day. Chag mitzvot like Lulav and Etrog or sitting in the Sukkah appear when they're relevant, and seasonal cards teach the festival in a few lines.
