Kind words from the Shabbat table.

How it works

Three steps. About five minutes.

Step 1
Tell us about the moment

Pick the moment.

This Shabbat, a yahrzeit, Rosh Hashanah, the seder — Shpiel knows the calendar and the parsha.

Step 2
We do the writing

Shpiel writes from sources.

Real verses, real commentary, matched to your tradition — secular to Chabad — with Hebrew transliterated and translated as you prefer.

Step 3
Make it yours

Make it yours.

Add the thought from your week. Deliver it before the soup gets cold.

Not generic AI

ChatGPT quotes the wrong parsha. Shpiel checked the calendar.

Ask generic AI for "a d'var Torah for this week" and you'll get last month's portion and a midrash that doesn't exist. Shpiel detects the actual parsha from the date and validates every source against authentic Jewish texts. Rabbis and educators use it weekly — the $149/year unlimited plan exists for exactly them.

Who's speaking?

Written for whoever stands up.

A sample line

This is what "yours" sounds like.

"This week we read Noach — a man the Torah calls righteous 'in his generation.' The commentators argue about whether that's a compliment. At this table, in this generation, I think it means: goodness counts most when it's hardest."

Questions, answered.

Like you, because the raw material is yours. Shpiel builds the d'var Torah out of the specific stories and details you share, not a template with your names dropped in, and you can reshape any line until it reads the way you would actually say it.
Yes. Shpiel finds the exact parsha from your date, including the double-portion weeks, and quotes real commentary from authentic Jewish texts. It never invents midrashim or attributes quotes to sages who did not say them, which is the most common failure when people use general-purpose AI for a Jewish d'var Torah.
Yes. Your tradition setting, from secular through Reform, Conservative, Orthodox and Chabad, changes the sources, the amount of Hebrew, and the tone, so the same simcha can read five different ways.
Yes. You do not need to write well, you need to remember well. Half a sentence like "she practiced her haftarah in the car" is enough for Shpiel to build something real. Rough notes work better than polished paragraphs.
Yes. What you share is used only to write your d'var Torah. We do not sell your data, and we do not train public models on your family's stories.
Yes — give it the date and it finds the exact portion, including holiday readings and the double-parsha weeks that trip everyone up.
Very much. The unlimited annual plan ($149/year) is built for rabbis, educators, and anyone who speaks weekly — every occasion, all your drafts saved.
Secular, Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, Chabad — each with its own sources, tone, and Hebrew. Same parsha, your voice.
All of them. Tell Shpiel the occasion and the audience (family seder vs. shul talk) and it writes for that room.
