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.

I guess this is more personal preference than anything else, but I think Hebrew in the post titles in the Q&A category uses quite an ugly font. The code seems to be h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6{ font-fa...
