Accessibility

This is the site of the Elisha Fund, in memory of Elisha Rothfeld Hy”d. It is built to work with a keyboard, with enlarged text and with screen readers.

Our target is level AA of WCAG 2.2. No outside body has audited or certified the site, and we do not claim that it conforms.

How the site is built

• Each page has one main heading, subheadings in order, and marked regions: header, navigation, main content and footer. The page language is English.
• The whole site works with a keyboard alone. The first link on every page skips to the content, and the item that has focus is outlined.
• Text and background colors meet the contrast ratios of level AA. A form error is shown in words, with an icon and a heavier border, never by color alone.
• Text can be enlarged to 200 percent in the browser, and pages reflow down to a narrow phone screen, without losing content or scrolling sideways.
• Buttons and links that stand alone are at least 44 by 44 pixels, so they are easy to tap.
• Photographs have descriptive alternative text; decorative images have empty alternative text. No information appears only in a picture.
• There are no videos, carousels or pop-ups. Two small animations, the line under each page title and the drawing of the anemone on the home page, run once. Both are off for visitors who ask their device for less motion.
• Every form field has a visible label. An error appears in words under the field, and focus moves to the first field that needs a fix.
• On a phone the menu is a button that opens a list. Escape closes it and returns focus to the button.
• Each page prints in black on white, without the menu, buttons and drawings.

Hebrew passages and screen readers

The verse, Elisha's name (אלישע רוטפלד הי״ד), the memorial line and Hebrew dates are in Hebrew. Each one is marked in the page code as Hebrew and as reading right to left, so a screen reader can switch language and the letters keep their order inside the English sentence around them.

A screen reader reads Hebrew aloud only if a Hebrew voice is installed on your device. Without one it may skip the passage or spell it out. The verse always comes with an English translation beside it, and the English text around the other passages says what they are.

Known gaps

As of Wednesday, October 14, 2026, we know of these gaps.

• The site has not been tested by people who use screen readers, and no outside auditor has reviewed it. Automated checks find only part of the problems.
• The site is in English, with Hebrew passages. There is no full Hebrew version for readers who prefer one.
