Methodology & review

A self-reported check-up of your Jewish life across 12 areas: ritual practice (Shabbat, kashrut, prayer, holidays, everyday mitzvot) and Jewish life in the broader sense (learning, home, chesed, values, faith, culture, community and memory).

The score is not a judgment of anyone's worth. “Only Hashem sees into hearts”: it's a mirror to help you grow, one mitzvah at a time.

Each question is worth 0 to 100%. Each area is a weighted average of its questions. The overall score (out of 1000) is the average of the areas weighted by their importance. All the weights are public on the scoring page.

What doesn't apply to you never counts against you: questions are filtered by your gender, age, situation, country and framework of practice. Mitzvot a person is exempt from (for example, time-bound mitzvot for women) only count as a bonus.

“Doesn't apply” removes a question from the calculation. “Skip” counts as not done, so the score stays honest.

The results show two sub-scores: ritual practice, and Jewish life & values. Many Jews live one intensely without the other; both count.

The scoring uses Orthodox halakhah as its yardstick, while adapting the questions to other frameworks of practice. The sources cited (Torah, Talmud, Shulchan Aruch, Rambam…) are given every time.

Customs (minhagim) vary between communities: when a practice depends on your custom, any recognized custom earns the maximum.

My Emouna does not issue any halakhic rulings. For any practical question, talk to your rabbi or rebbetzin.

The content has been reviewed following a detailed audit (65 points corrected: accuracy, customs, weights, sensitivities).

A review committee including at least one Ashkenazi rabbi, one Sephardi rabbi and one female educator is being formed. Until it is in place, no rabbinic endorsement is claimed.
