Welcome to the Judaism community on Codidact!

Will you help us build our community of learners? Drop into our study hall, ask questions, help others with answers to their questions, share a d'var torah if you're so inclined, invite your friends, and join us in building this community together. Not an ask-the-rabbi service, just people at all levels learning together.

Discussions and feedback about the site itself in Q&A format.

Are questions purely about Hebrew in-scope?

Creation of Tag synonyms

There are a bunch of new tags being added, and many of them are synonyms of each other. This happens because some people put a tag of "prayer" and some put the Hebrew word "tefillah" or the Yiddish...
