Move the black notebook to digital
The yahrzeit list on the wall, the donation ledger in the cabinet, the member roster in the binder — we know. Here's how to move it all to Beita in under an hour.
Prep the ground — 30 minutes
A bit of work up front saves you hours later.
Phone camera scan
Photograph everything you have. The black notebook, the sticky notes referenced inside it. Everything that follows depends on this.
Sort by category
One pile for yahrzeits, one for members, one for donations. Even imperfect sorting is enough.
Recruit a young member
There's always the tech-savvy young person. They can type everything in 2 hours. Buy them coffee.
3 steps from notebook to app
Doesn't have to happen in one day. Add a member a day, a yahrzeit a week — that's fine too.
Open a Beita account
30 days free. No credit card. Cancel anytime if it doesn't fit.
Add 10–20 founding members
Start with leadership, board members, longest-attending. The rest will join via app invitation.
Add the next 5 yahrzeits
From the binder, the notebook, the bulletin — wherever. After that works, add 5 more next week. Done within a month.

My father's black notebook was on my shelf for 12 years. Now it's in the archive — and every yahrzeit in it lives in Beita, correctly, in two languages.
The black notebook becomes an archive piece — this week.
Beita is free for 30 days. Our onboarding team helps with the initial import.
