Written by The Rakefet Unlimited Team | 10/15/26, 10:12โ€ฏPM

๐Ÿš€ A New RakefetOnline Experience Is Coming! Administrators Get the First Look October 19

A fresh look. Easier navigation. The same RakefetOnline you know and trust.

We're excited to announce that beginning Monday, October 19, 2026, RakefetOnline administrators will be among the first to explore our newly redesigned RakefetOnline BETA experience!

At RakefetOnline, we believe synagogue management software should make your work easier, not more complicated. That's why we've been working behind the scenes to create a cleaner, more modern interface that helps Jewish organizations manage their daily operations more efficiently.

This is the first step in an exciting new chapter for RakefetOnline!

 

โœจ What's New in the RakefetOnline BETA?

Our redesigned interface focuses on making everyday tasks easier while maintaining the familiar features and functionality our customers depend on.

Modern, Refreshed Layout

Enjoy a cleaner dashboard, improved screen layouts, and a collapsible side menu that gives you more room to work.

Faster, Easier Navigation

Quick-access shortcuts help you get to the screens you use most, reducing the time spent searching through menus.

Redesigned Screens and Reports

We've refreshed screens and reports with clearer filters, improved tables, and easier-to-use export options.

Your Data Stays the Same

Both the BETA and Classic Version use the same RakefetOnline account and records. There's no data migration, separate login, or additional setup required.

 

๐Ÿ”‘ Administrators Get the First Look!

Beginning October 19, users with administrator access will see a new button in RakefetOnline:

๐Ÿš€ Try Our New Experience

Simply click the button to explore the redesigned BETA interface.

We're introducing the new experience in stages, beginning with administrators. This allows us to gather valuable feedback and continue refining the interface before expanding access.

 

๐Ÿ”„ Try It Out โ€” Switch Back Anytime!

We know that learning a new interface can take time, especially when you're busy managing your synagogue or nonprofit organization.

That's why participating in the BETA is completely optional!

Administrators can explore the new experience and return to the Classic Version whenever they choose.

Just click the Return to Previous Version icon in the upper-right corner of the new interface.

And because this is a per-user experience, switching to the BETA doesn't automatically change the interface for everyone else in your organization.

You can explore at your own pace!

 

๐Ÿ’ก What About My Data and Forms?

Everything stays connected!

Both interfaces work with your existing RakefetOnline account and data. Forms created in the BETA will also be accessible from the Classic Version.

You can explore the redesigned experience without moving your records or creating a separate account.

 

๐Ÿงช Why Are We Calling It a BETA?

Because we're still making improvements!

Some screens and features are continuing to be refined, and we're inviting administrators to help us shape the future of RakefetOnline.

Your feedback helps us understand what works well, what could be easier, and where we should focus our improvements.

After all, who better to help improve synagogue management software than the people who use it every day?

 

๐Ÿ’™ Continuing to Improve Synagogue Management Software

For the past 30 years, Rakefet has been dedicated to helping synagogues, temples, shuls, Jewish day schools, and nonprofit organizations manage their operations.

From membership management and fundraising to billing, accounting, Yahrzeits, online forms, and member portals, RakefetOnline brings essential tools together in one integrated platform.

Our redesigned BETA is another step in our ongoing commitment to delivering powerful, affordable synagogue management software backed by the personalized support our customers appreciate.

New look. Same commitment. More improvements ahead.

 

๐Ÿš€ Mark Your Calendar โ€” October 19, 2026!

If you're a RakefetOnline administrator, look for the "Try Our New Experience" button beginning Monday, October 19.

Explore the new interface, see what's changed, and let us know what you think!

Not an administrator? There's nothing you need to do. The Classic Version will continue to be available while we introduce the redesigned experience in stages.

We're excited to share this next chapter with you!
