How to create an event

Create, invite and manage registration for synagogue events — from Shabbat meals to special lessons.

Knowledge Center

Events are an essential part of community life at the synagogue — Shabbat meals, special classes, Bar Mitzvah celebrations, study evenings, and more. With Beita you can create an event, send invitations to the whole community, manage attendee registration, and get a clear picture of who's coming. All from one place, with no spreadsheets or WhatsApp messages needed.

Events automatically appear both in the community app and on the synagogue's digital screen, so every congregant can see what's happening in the coming week.

Creating a new event

Go to the admin dashboard and click "Events" in the side menu, then click "New event." Fill in the basic details: event name, date and time, location (you can choose from the synagogue's different halls), and a short description. You can also upload a photo or poster for the event, which will appear in the invitations.

Sending invitations

After creating the event, click "Send invitations" and choose your audience: all community members, a specific group, or individual members. The invitation is sent as a push notification in the app, and you can also add delivery by email or SMS. Every invitation includes "I'm coming" and "Not coming" buttons, so you'll know exactly how many people to expect.

Managing registration and limiting capacity

For an event with a limited number of seats (for example, a meal with 100 seats), you can set an attendee cap. Once the list fills up, new registrants are added to a waiting list. You can see in real time who has confirmed, declined, or is waiting — and download the list to Excel with one click.

Automatic reminders

The system automatically sends a reminder to everyone who confirmed attendance — one day before the event and two hours before the event. This reduces last-minute cancellations and makes sure everyone remembers. You can adjust the reminder timing in the event settings.
