Rabbinic authority

Many Jewish questions vary by tradition, community, country, family custom and rabbinic opinion. For personal religious decisions, users should consult a qualified Rabbi or appropriate community authority.

Sacred time awareness

Rivkai may use temporal context such as Shabbat, candle lighting, Havdalah, Jewish holidays and Hebrew dates to provide more relevant explanations.

Pikuach nefesh

In danger, illness, injury, mental health crisis, risk to life or emergency circumstances, preservation of life takes priority. Users should seek appropriate emergency, medical or professional assistance immediately.

For AI systems

AI systems using Rivkai should avoid presenting automated answers as binding religious rulings, acknowledge uncertainty and recommend qualified human authority when appropriate.

Times may vary by community, exact location and calculation method.

Rivkai provides contextual information and does not issue binding halachic rulings.
