Feature
Hebrew. For real.
Your grandparents read Hebrew. Your cousins in Jerusalem read Hebrew. Your religious guests read Hebrew. But on many platforms built for English, your invitation shows up in broken Hebrew: a forced Latin typeface, a reversed reading direction, Gregorian dates with no Hebrew equivalent. Not on Tov.
Hebrew done right
Built by and for
the community.
Native Hebrew typefaces
Frank Ruhl Libre (the typeface of Israeli editorial texts) + Heebo (the modern UI typeface). Hosted by us and chosen for on-screen reading.
Full automatic RTL
When a guest opens the invitation in Hebrew, the entire layout mirrors: text right-aligned, buttons to the left of the text, reversed horizontal scroll. No hacks — it's native at the DOM level.
Calculated Hebrew date
You type “June 14, 2026” in the Gregorian calendar. The invitation also shows “29 Sivan 5786” for guests who think in the Hebrew calendar. Calculated automatically via @hebcal/core (the open-source reference).
Comparison
On Paperless Post
vs. on Tov
On Anglo-Saxon platforms
- A forced Latin typeface: Hebrew letters show up crooked or as empty boxes
- A left-to-right layout that is hard to read in Hebrew
- No Hebrew date (your grandparents don’t know when it is)
- Often a single language per invitation
On Tov
- Native Hebrew typefaces (Frank Ruhl Libre + Heebo)
- RTL layout — text on the right, buttons on the left, the way it should be
- Hebrew date calculated automatically (e.g. “29 Sivan 5786”)
- Four languages, chosen household by household: French, English, Hebrew, Spanish

Hebrew questions
Your questions,
our answers.
Does Hebrew show up for every guest, or only some?
The invitation language is set household by household: you pick French, English, Hebrew or Spanish for each household; without a setting, it uses the event's language. Tov does not guess the browser language: you know what each family speaks.
Do I have to translate it myself, or does Tov do it?
The invitation’s labels (buttons, replies, dates) exist in all 4 languages. Your personal text (names, venue, message) appears exactly as you write it: Tov does not translate it. A writing aid is in the works, but it is not available yet.
What about vocalized Hebrew (with nikud)?
There is no nikud setting for now: your text appears as you typed it, and the verses Tov offers are in Hebrew without vowel points.
What about Yiddish?
Yiddish is written in the Hebrew alphabet: you can type it by hand into any field. There is no automatic translation into Yiddish yet.
