Create Your Synagogue Calendar — FreeSound familiar?
It's the week before Rosh Hashanah and the office phone won't stop ringing. "What time does Erev Rosh Hashanah start?" "Is there childcare during Kol Nidre?" "When does the break-fast begin?" Every answer is on the website, but nobody thinks to look there.
The rabbi moved Torah study from Tuesday to Thursday this month, and the update went out in the weekly email. But half the regulars missed it — they saw the email subject line and figured they already knew the schedule. Four people showed up Tuesday to an empty room.
Your sisterhood planned a Shabbat dinner for 30 people. The flyer was posted in the lobby and mentioned in announcements. But families who only come for High Holidays never saw it. Fifteen seats sat empty while the waitlist had names on it.

Here's what synagogues typically put on their shared calendar:
What this looks like in practice
Rabbi Sarah opens iCalFeed on Monday morning. She adds the Purim carnival, updates the time for Wednesday's Torah study, and posts the community Shabbat dinner details. Total time: four minutes.
David, a congregant, is planning his week on Tuesday. He opens his phone calendar and sees "Erev Shabbat Service — 6:15 PM, Main Sanctuary" right between his work meeting and his son's basketball practice. He didn't have to dig through email or call the office.
On Wednesday, the cantor realizes the Hanukkah menorah lighting needs to move indoors because of rain. She edits the event location in the dashboard. By that evening, every subscriber's phone shows "Social Hall" instead of "Front Courtyard." No phone tree. No last-minute emails.
How iCalFeed compares
vs. Weekly synagogue email
Long emails get skimmed or skipped. Event details get lost in paragraphs of text.
Each event is a separate calendar entry with time, location, and details — right on their phone.
vs. Printed bulletin
Only reaches people who attend in person. Sits on a counter until recycling day.
Events reach every subscriber whether they attended last Shabbat or not.
vs. Synagogue website calendar
Members have to remember to visit the site. Most check it once and forget it exists.
Events come to them — synced to the calendar app they already check every day.
vs. Facebook group
Many congregants — especially older members — aren't on Facebook. Posts get buried by the algorithm.
Works on every phone. No social media account needed. No algorithm filtering.
