What's new

TorahTrope is actively maintained. Here is what has changed recently — including fixes for problems people wrote in about.

September 2, 2026

New Search by holiday. Typing “Yom Kippur”, “Rosh Hashanah”, or “Simchat Torah” now finds the right reading — previously those pages existed but could only be reached by browsing.
Fixed High Holy Day pages showed last year's date. Yom Kippur read “October 2, 2025” instead of the upcoming reading.
Fixed The Maftir was missing from every High Holy Day reading. Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur morning were missing their Numbers passage entirely, and Yom Kippur Mincha stopped at verse 21 of a reading that runs to verse 30.
Fixed Custom range now always opens at the first verse of the reading, instead of wherever you happened to be.
Fixed The row of buttons at the top no longer squeezes together when a reading is open.
Improved You can now type a reading the way it appears in the address bar — “ha-azinu”, “sh-lach” — as well as “Genesis chapter 5”.

New A guide: How to practice Torah trope. What the te'amim marks actually do, a six-step practice method, and answers to the questions students ask most.
New Every parashah page now opens with a short summary of what the portion covers.

New A feedback form, linked from the top of every page. Every message is read.
Fixed The footer no longer sits underneath the audio player, where the last lines were unreadable.

Improved The passage search understands how people actually type. “Noah”, “parashat Ki Tavo”, “chayei sarah” and near-miss spellings all find the right reading now.
Fixed Typing a reading and tapping Go on a phone no longer reports that it could not be found.

New Tap any word to jump the audio to that point — useful for drilling one phrase over and over.
Fixed Downloading a clip failed for several days with “Failed to fetch”. Fixed, and downloads now report honestly when something goes wrong.

New Share copies a link to exactly the verses you are looking at.
New A privacy page setting out what is and is not collected. No accounts, no cookies, no advertising.
Improved Verse numbers now sit inline with the text, and the lines between verses are gone.
Improved Printing in consonants-only mode now looks like a scroll — no verse numbers, no rules.

New Find a passage. Type a reference like “Deuteronomy 21:10-21”, or tap through book, chapter, and verses — and land on exactly those verses.
New Play and download any verse range, not just a whole aliyah. The audio is trimmed to the verses you chose.
New V'Zot HaBerachah, the 54th portion, read on Simchat Torah.
Improved New Hebrew face (Keter YG), so the trope marks render in their correct shapes.
Improved Per-verse audio timing across all 371 aliyot, so the text follows the recording as it plays.
