Recustom, formerly known as Haggadot.com, is a pioneering nonprofit working at the intersection of tradition and innovation. We recognize that Judaism is a living, breathing tradition—one that must continually adapt to meet the diverse needs of contemporary Jewish communities. Our mission is to empower individuals to create, explore, and personalize Jewish rituals in authentic and meaningful ways. That’s why we created our new mix-and-match platform, allowing Jewish and Jew-ish individuals from all backgrounds to build customized, and personalized Jewish rituals that speak to the meaningful moments throughout their lives.
We believe ritual shouldn’t be about rigid adherence, but rather personal connection and creative engagement. By providing a robust content library and an easy-to-use software platform combined with supportive communities and connection, we help people reimagine Jewish traditions through a lens of lived experience and cultural relevance. We welcome playfulness, reject perfection, and celebrate the infinite ways individuals can honor their Judaism.
2024 was a pivotal year of internal reflection and strategic expansion for Recustom. We shifted our focus beyond holiday-specific rituals to develop a revolutionary mix-and-match ritual technology that supports life's full spectrum of moments. Launched in September, our new platform not only empowers individual users to blend content across personal milestones but also provides Jewish institutions with a powerful tool to leverage innovative ritual-making technology. Now, organizations can easily customize and deploy our flexible platform, making ritual design more accessible and approachable across the Jewish community.

We also prioritized creating deeper community connections, experimenting with innovative ways to bring ritual-makers together, and providing supportive spaces for shared exploration and personal growth. This year marked a significant evolution in our approach—transforming from a holiday-focused resource to a comprehensive ritual-design ecosystem that meets people wherever they are in their personal and cultural journeys.

At Recustom, it’s not just about the numbers. It’s about providing tools that help people connect with tradition in ways that feel authentic, playful, and deeply personal. It’s about allowing people to leverage their Judaism to celebrate life’s milestones, no matter how big or small. By removing the pressure of "perfection" and embracing creativity, we're helping Judaism remain vibrant, relevant, and inclusive.

As we continue to grow, our commitment remains the same: empowering individuals to explore, adapt, and celebrate Jewish rituals in ways that truly speak to their hearts. In 2025, we’re poised to scale the impact of our new platform by working with organizations across the Jewish community to innovate digital ritual engagement.
