How MitzvahManager Works
MitzvahManager plans and tracks B'nai Mitzvah preparation: each student's ceremony date, what they read, who teaches them and who attends their ceremony.
Each step happens on its own page:
Confirming sets only the date. Staff, the Program and the Service each have their own step, and the confirm dialog shows the status of each.
Continue setup in the sidebar opens Set Up MitzvahManager, which lists each step and links to the page where you do it. Three steps are required: Set Your Time Zone, Add a Service Schedule and Add Your Students. You can skip the rest and do steps in any order, unless a step waits on another. A step that waits shows what it needs, such as Needs a subscription, with a link to that step. Adding students, planning ceremony dates and turning on automation need a MitzvahManager subscription. You can set up most of Settings, your Programs and your Service Templates before you subscribe.
Each student's page lists what they are waiting on under Needs you, such as a date to choose or confirm, an unanswered consent form or a Service to prepare. Each item has one owner and one action. The Students page shows how many students need you.
In Settings under Ceremonies, the Automation tab has two switches. Suggest coverage suggests staff for each ceremony; suggestions show dashed on the ceremony calendar until you confirm them. Prepare Services automatically prepares each confirmed ceremony's Service on the morning its preparation timing sets: your organization's, or its Program's own. Automation uses your time zone, schedules and their coverage, what a bar or bat mitzvah reads and when Services are prepared, who reads named readings, and who holds which Staff Role. Setup asks you to set or skip each of these first.
Administrators set things up, add students and change their standing. Tutors and other staff see the students they are assigned to. Manage Student Data opens every student to someone who is not an administrator, and Manage Ceremony Schedule opens Ceremonies. Guardians follow their student's lessons, assignments and practice from My Students.
