We are aware of the following areas that may not yet be fully accessible, and plan to improve them:

|---|---|---|
| Introduction video | The About section video does not currently have captions or a transcript. | Add captions and a text transcript. |
| Interactive Israel map | Some region details are revealed on mouse hover; the equivalent information is listed in the side panel. | Confirm full keyboard and screen-reader access to every region. |
| Animations | Some scroll and entrance animations may still play when reduced motion is requested. | Disable non-essential motion for reduced-motion users. |
| Mobile menu | The menu button does not yet announce whether the menu is open or closed. | Add an open/closed state for assistive technology. |
| Social media links | Instagram and Facebook icons do not yet lead to a destination. | Link to LeShem's official pages or remove the icons. |
05Third-Party Content
Some content and services come from external providers, such as the National Yeshiva Portal, PEF Israel Endowment Funds for donations, LinkedIn, and externally hosted video. LeShem does not control the accessibility of those services. If an external service prevents you from completing a task, contact us and we will help you another way.
