I made the planner I couldn’t find.

The Monthly Mail Club began with a planner I kept trying to find: one that could hold Jewish time and regular life on the same page.

I wanted Jewish dates and regular dates. I wanted a place for Yom Tov plans, groceries, appointments, meals, and plain old Tuesday. I wanted it to be simple enough to use and beautiful enough to leave open on the counter. I couldn’t find that planner, so I made it.

The Daily Tea lives online, but I kept wanting something physical too—something beyond tabs, screenshots, and PDFs. Real paper. Useful paper. Mail that arrives with your name on it and was fussed over properly.

Making the planner one Jewish month at a time means it can meet the month we are actually entering. Tishrei does not need the same pages as Cheshvan. And if last month got away from you, you do not have to stare at months of blank pages. The next edition lets you begin again.

I printed the first Tishrei batch small on purpose. I want the club to grow slowly, thoughtfully, and in conversation with the women using it.
