Virtual Tikkun was featured in the Northern California J Weekly last week during the launch of Virtual Tikkun 2.0. Proud of our accomplishments, appreciative for The J covering us with such a detailed article.

Virtual Tikkun allows people to learn and practice chanting Torah using actual images of their synagogue’s scrolls.

Virtual Tikkun continues to enhance the only digital Torah learning environment customized with images from your Torah scrolls. Some recent additions to the application include:

To accommodate synagogues that use the Triennial schedule of Torah readings, Virtual Tikkun now provides Torah organization and navigation for both Annual and the full 3 year Triennial cycle. Users can simply select “Annual” or “Triennial” and Virtual Tikkun will automatically reconfigure aliyot in every parsha based on the leyning schedule selected. In addition, Virtual Tikkun support Custom aliyot. The correct aliyot are reflected in the Table of Contents, as well as within the Chumash text in the Tikkun (in the application, as well as in printed and downloadable versions), providing the correct readings to be learned by the Baal Kria (reader) or student.

We are also pleased to introduce new enhanced Print and Download functionality. At different times our users need to print out one of three views: The Torah or Chumash alone, or the side by side Tikkun view with both Torah image and the aligned Chumash text – with optimized, highly readable text on the printed page. Virtual Tikkun now provides an interleaved version of the Tikkun from which a user can print any of these 3 views. Printing odd pages provides the Torah-only view, even-pages creates the Chumash-only view, and all pages provides the full side-by-side Tikkun.

These capabilities are available on all production environments as well as the Virtual Tikkun online demo.

I am thrilled to announce Virtual Tikkun 1.0, the pioneering digital Tikkun designed to capture and accurately represent unique Torah scrolls, delivering high-resolution online images of every column in each Sefer Torah (Torah scroll) together with the Chumash (canonical, typographic) text for each column.

Virtual Tikkun directly addresses critical needs Jewish synagogues and organizations face regarding Torah experience in their communities, to:
> Mentor and teach from their Sifrei Torah (Torah scrolls)
> Leyn (read/chant) Torah with confidence using Virtual Tikkuns of specific, unique Torah scrolls
> Broaden their Torah experience community-wide

Virtual Tikkun blends traditional Torah practice with modern technology providing a custom, online tikkun for each unique Torah scroll that simplifies and accelerates the Torah experience for students and seasoned Torah readers so they can leyn with confidence. Each scroll is organized by parshiot (portions) and aliyot (readings) with in-line indicators, providing direct and intuitive navigation. Students and experienced readers alike learn and practice their readings using views of the same Torah from which they will leyn (read/chant).
