WebParasha is a web application that allows users to sign-up for and manage Torah, Haftarah, Megillah Readings.

Each user who wants to read is assigned to a user name and password by the cantor, rabbi or administrator. After logging in, the user can choose aliyot to read, cancel aliyot, see available aliyot, and access information regarding the readings, such as mp3 audio, pdf file with the actual reading, among others. After choosing an aliyah the user and the administrator will get an email confirming the selection. If the user doesn’t have access to a computer, the cantor or administrator can assign aliyot to them and keep track of the number of readings per user and their dates.

There is a message board where cantors can post information about upcoming special Shabbatot torah readings, festivities, or community events. All users can see these postings.

WebParasha is very easy to use. Anyone, regardless of their computer skills, can use it.
