Surname search no longer stops at the first eight alphabetical results: it now returns every family matching a name fragment. Several pages that used to produce an error — the homepage in certain languages, an unknown address, a malformed path — now respond correctly. Archive items finally carry their own catalogue number in their title, which makes it possible to tell them apart when several share the same heading.

The collapse in traffic from Google at the end of July is finally explained: it is a reassessment of page quality by the search engine itself, dated and measured page by page, not a fault of the site. Public record pages, which had been reloading entirely on every visit for several days, become cacheable again and therefore fast. A register of documentary sources is created to organize upcoming bibliographic contributions, and the Encyclopaedia Judaica begins documenting families that until now had no reference at all. The member profile gains new fields, and language preference can now be chosen from one's own account.

The Grand Books are no longer systematically translated into every language: translation is now triggered when a reader actually visits a version that does not yet exist. The invitation to the Collective's weekly meeting now goes out through a single channel, the Google calendar, with the old parallel invitation series withdrawn. The sourcing effort extends to places, communities and figures thanks to the Encyclopaedia Judaica, with several hundred new references added to records. The admin console now shows the language breakdown of members and subscribers.

A register of international Jewish organizations, with verified public addresses, is created. Management of newsletter subscribers is merged with that of members in the admin console, which can now add them by hand. The evening watch, until now unreachable by WhatsApp, becomes accessible on that channel again, and one verified external item is sent to subscribers. Five more Ashkenazi families are attached to their city of origin, and the usage conditions of Italian sources are examined ahead of an upcoming project.

The search-visibility review shows that 82% of the site's catalogue has never been shown by Google, for two distinct causes that do not add together, and that 45% of what still receives visits is not indexed. The site finally displays its name in the form readers actually type, “Zakhor.ai”, where until now it carried only its short name. The site stops presenting itself as structured by a Livorno–Maghreb axis: the documented facts about this historical route remain, but the claim itself is dropped. A bug that made an unknown address in any of the site's seven main categories return a generic error instead of a simple not-found page is fixed. Documentary sourcing accelerates sharply: several hundred new references enter the bibliography from Italian and German collections and authority records, bringing dozens of families and figures out of having no source at all, and one hundred books on Jewish history join the general catalogue.

A new section of short historical stories is launched, gathering dozens of episodes spanning from antiquity to the twentieth century. The site's menus are substantially reorganized: several entries change column or position to better reflect what they offer, and duplicate entries leading to the same page are removed. The newsletter finally goes out in the language declared by each recipient, and one story is featured each week. The press contact list is expanded with Jewish genealogy associations.

A new corpus of Jewish cemeteries is launched, with a first survey of eighty-nine Moroccan cemeteries and roughly eleven thousand burials at the Ben M'Sik cemetery. The short-stories section reaches its target of five hundred and sixty-six episodes. The assistant that answers visitors' questions is thoroughly reworked: the answer now appears as it is being written rather than all at once, sources appear before the very first word, and its length now adjusts to the question asked. Two tasks that searched for information or proofread the books using pay-per-hour calls move to the team's flat-rate subscription, reducing their cost. Two hundred and twenty-seven families that had no alternate spelling of their name now receive one, borrowed from the surname of a figure linked to them.

A set of great contemporary figures of Moroccan Judaism joins the corpus.

The Alliance folder carries exactly the same notice as the site, and the founder's notice is available in all thirteen languages; the files to download are shown instead of merely being named. The campaign now has a destination, and the site ceases to publish an erroneous address. The weekly reminder of the session updates the list of guests before going out, and an account created without a name receives it upon submitting its address.

The Alliance folder has been broken up into one piece per subject, printable, with four banners and a shared page that the document alone did not allow. The workshop enters the menu of the Great Books: eighteen agents are shown there, one sees what they are working on and the handover is traced, the dial following the reader's time. On the home page, the themes still to be written and the equation of the pillars have been tightened.

The bibliographies of the Jewish Encyclopedia now enter the records, and the search for sources opens the pages before quoting. Six thousand seven hundred links attaching figures to their places become visible. The published letter can be read on the site: the latest one for all, the archive for members, and a subscription button appears at the top of the home page. A "Summary" page has been added, as well as twenty-five pages that were missing from the site map.

The first letter opens on the word Zakhor and says why it is returning; it announces "Bring a relative back to life". The envelope, the previews and the body follow the language declared by the reader, and the subscription page now shows the actual blocks of the letter as well as its actual rhythm. Work on the patronymics has progressed: a refusal given from memory can be reconsidered with sources in hand, the canonical bearer of a name takes precedence over those that cite it, and an alliance of two patronymics ceases to pass for a mere spelling variant.

The menu entries have been grouped under common roots, and "Bring a relative back to life" joins "Families, Relatives". Each Great Book now carries its days of remembrance, and states clearly when it has none. Beneath each answer from a figure, an opinion can be left, with a rating and a comment. The 5,134 lineage records still too thin have been withdrawn from the public index.

Any published figure can now be questioned and answers relying solely on their own writing; when no work survives, they speak from the testimony handed down. A moderation console accompanies these public exchanges. The first letter has been written — its opening, its thanks, its horizon — with the possibility of a test send before general distribution. Work on duplicates has brought together records born twice from the same article, corrected seventeen records that designated someone else and reworked 343 records issued from a single page read several times.

The Great Books portal now leads first to reading: a "Search" bar replaces the link, suggests names to look for and offers a button to the book when it already exists. Search has been thoroughly reworked — major figures presented with their dates and their place, sorting from oldest to most recent for figures as well as texts, mention of the variant through which a family was found, priority given to the lineage. Every published book is proofread in depth, its quality measured each night, with books needing correction finally given a page; the editorial catch-up rises to twenty-four books a day and the reading edition can be listened to aloud. Elsewhere, all sixteen thousand archive items are accessible, hilloula and yahrzeit are now a single page in the notebook, and newsletter sign-up no longer requires email confirmation.

The news section welcomes a weekly recap of innovations, presented day by day, and this recap displays correctly in languages with non-Latin alphabets. The evening watch now distinguishes the day's news from the inquiry into the pillars, and brings into being the missing entity and no longer only the book. The foot of the Great Books now presents only one request, and logging in from a Great Book brings you back to it.

The harvesting, classification and translation of the Jewish Encyclopedia have been set in motion, with subjects attached to the site's pillars. Search brings up the exact match and offers a suggestion in case of a typing error. Twenty-one additional attested lineages have been created, and nine more on the editorial team's attestation, several spellings being brought together under a single family. Finally, the seven hundred and ninety-seven attached subscribers are receiving an invitation, at a rate of one hundred a day, and each is notified when the Great Book of their lineage appears or is enriched.

A "The Bible" section enters "Memory, History": one hundred and thirty-one entries, twenty-four book notices, thirty-six genealogical notices and fifty-eight addresses spread over five page forms, with a narrative that tells the history rather than the method. Navigation has been entirely reworked: "You" becomes "Families, Relatives" in all thirteen languages, "About" joins "Who we are", the two manifestos merge, and several entries move down from the banner to the footer. On the contribution side, the "Write" page now asks only one question and opens only two paths, and testimony begins with the narrative before any attachment to a tree. The project's book is typeset in two hundred and seventy-two pages, with a hierarchical table of contents, folios and page cross-references.

The Book of Great Books becomes consultable and downloadable. A manuscript devoted to the zakhor.ai project has been assembled in twenty-six chapters, with an annotated bibliography of verified references. Each Great Book also receives a bibliography and a "The great figures" section, and the generation of new books now follows a pace of one book every four hours.

The pillar indexes and the family directory are now browsed page by page, which makes consulting them lighter. Non-existent addresses again respond with a genuine "not found" page rather than a misleading display. Two important causes of the site's non-indexing have been removed.

The testimonies collected are now gathered on a Wall of Testimonies, presented from the most recent to the oldest, accessible from the “You” menu and translated into thirteen languages. On the newsletter side, addresses that bounce or report a delivery issue are removed automatically. Two internal safeguards round out the day, one to prevent mailings that would not actually be sent, the other to track the recovery of traffic by source.

A new act of contribution is now open: writing a signed account about a loved one, attached to the tree — including for a loved one who is absent, who can be linked to it through their parents. The signature is pre-filled from the account name, moderation is ensured and the witness notified; testimonies appear on the dashboard and in recent activity. The general search now finds people from the collective tree, placed at the top, with access to the tree and to testimonies. In parallel, places have been thoroughly deduplicated — Paris, then 208 places with name variants, five duplicates, Banias and Caesarea disambiguated, eight groups of distinct places repositioned on their respective points —, sixteen individuals have been reclassified from lineage to figure and the Gourarier lineage has been added.

One hundred and ten lineages bearing the form “Surname (First name)” have been merged into the existing figure record, and nineteen lineage Great Books concerning only one person have been converted back into figure Great Books; four other isolated cases followed. The missing records for Hugo Bergmann and Abraham Wertheim have been created, and Newman (Barnett) reclassified as a figure. Day-by-day tracking of genuinely human traffic has been added to the internal measurement tools.

A leaflet in PDF format can now be downloaded to be shared with one's community. The dashboard distinguishes lineages followed by interest alongside the paternal and maternal lineages, logs pinnings in recent activity and offers a dedicated page for choosing the lineage to enrich. Creating a Great Book is done from a single surface, open to any account, and the lineage Great Book is gathered on the family record. The “Amiel” lineage has been renamed “Amoyal”, with a redirect from the former address, and a review of duplicate works has been opened.

The lineage records have been revised to give priority to content and to links between pages; the attachment of an archival item to the family moves to the top. From the reading wall, it becomes possible to subscribe to the Great Book of the lineage currently being read, including when arriving from a search engine. The homonyms of the “Haim” lineage have been separated to give back to “Benhaim” what belongs to it. The home page title and its subtitle have been reworked in all thirteen languages.

The reference tree gains a fifth view, “Family”, which embeds the explorer directly into the page; the corresponding entry leaves the Genealogy menu and is also found in the footer resources. The ASCOLI branch, from Livorno, and its forty-three people have been reintegrated into the tree. A member who creates a Great Book now receives the creator distinction, visible on their dashboard. Finally, several lineage addresses have been made canonical (Abarbanell to Abarbanel, Gavison to Gabison) and twelve orphan addresses redirected.

The public tree is now fed live from the database, without manual publication, and its header counter tracks the exact number of people. The people search is no longer a mock-up: it genuinely queries the tree. On the lineage side, 105 corrections have been applied to the tree, four duplicates arising from spelling variants have been merged (Mazuz, Zacuto, Alkabetz, Gabison) and 953 variants from four anchored sources have enriched 510 lineages. Public labels now speak of “works and manuscripts”, in thirteen languages, and an anonymous survey, “Your view on zakhor.ai”, is offered to subscribers.

The places of the corpus are displayed on a world map, with anchored points and navigation by zoom and panning. Each lineage has a private family album, this "second register", linked to the Great Book through moderation, the items being checked upon upload; the depositor is informed of the fate of their item in the thirteen languages, and a final approval handles in a single action the item, the prose of the book and the album. Anchored archive items now illustrate the lineage books. Finally, the Great Books menu becomes a grid of pillar pages, several links move to the Resources column of the footer, the ASCOLI branch of Livorno — forty-three people — is published in the tree, and a notice announces the gathering at 6 p.m., on the eve of Ticha BeAv.

The attachment batches follow one another, Sephardic vein, Maghreb, Levant, Italy, Yemen and the Hasidic world, each adding more than a hundred figures and as many works to their lineages; fifteen duplicate lineages are merged and seven hundred and forty-seven variants receive a source. The "Lineages & great figures" page presents enriched cards — full biography, clickable sources, dated works —, a filter by category and now all lineages, even those without a figure. The public statistics page gains pillars dedicated to great figures, variants and works. On the contributions side, a deposited item can be entered as a source in several Great Books, with immediate regeneration of the book concerned, a deposit can no longer be empty, and the site adopts a palette inspired by a Delacroix painting.

A work of attachment links the great figures to their lineages: eighty-six figures by patronymic, thirteen by patronymic variant, then one hundred and forty-one lineages that had none, with the corresponding books and manuscripts; a second batch adds one hundred and eighty figures and two hundred and thirty-seven works. This work can be read on a new page, "Lineages & great figures", and measured on the public statistics page, which publishes the histogram of great figures by lineage and its inequality index. Search has been corrected: "menorat ha maor" finds the five Menorat ha-Maor, "encaoua" finds the texts catalogued as "Aln'kaoua". On the home page, a constellation replaces the grid, the five tools unfold beneath the promise, the founder's word appears, and "Authors" becomes "Great Figures" throughout the site.

The records of great figures now indicate parents, spouses and children, and carry a mini dynasty tree; the lineage records receive one as well. A directory of the major Jewish genealogy portals is added to the resources, and Gibraltar enters the register of places. The site acquires a genuine terms and conditions page, translated into the thirteen languages, and a "Topics to be written" page where one can propose one's own theme. The home page is tightened around a single message, its counters move down to the bottom of the page, the panorama of the ecosystem rises to sixteen actors, and the publication rate of the books, briefly raised to four per hour, returns to one per hour.

The bibliography is sorted from the most recent publication to the oldest, opens on a cross-cutting "All languages" list and presents its summaries unfolded by default; the same sorting by date arrives on the texts. The lineage Great Books now carry at least one anchored photograph, and manuscript titles are cleaned on import, Latin, Hebrew and Arabic being separated. The day's discoveries are broadcast each morning on WhatsApp. The home page receives an "Origin · History · Genealogy" banner at the same level as the site name, and the publication rate of the Great Books moves to two per hour.

A Share button appears near the login block: WhatsApp, email, SMS, link copy and the main networks, with a tagline aimed at the family and a message translated into the thirteen languages. Every account creation gives rise to a welcome email, written in the member's language, and account deletion is now done alone from the "My account" page, the privacy policy being completed accordingly. The language selector moves into the right-hand menu and the Great Books and Genealogy menus are reordered. Finally, a comparative demography page sets the Jewish population against the world population from the year 1 to 2025, and the Great Books print in colour with their curves.

The lineage explorer offers an ancestry view in pedigree form, a details panel that can be folded away, and a marker showing the presence of siblings on the cards. A logged-in member can attach themselves to a person in the tree, and the four views then open centred on them. Search now displays the known variants under each family, and a new page asks which great figures one descends from. The invitation to write, beneath the home page hero, has been enlarged and rephrased, and the news feed goes back to the origins of the undertaking, in April 2026.

The main menu welcomes a Genealogy entry, placed after Memory and History, which leads to the tree and to kinship links. The page "The Tree of Jewish Lineages" offers three views of the same set. The dashboard indicates the tree already submitted, with its date, and proposing a Great Book now requires an account. On search results, a subject can be submitted to the collective when the answer does not suit, and category headers are more legible.

A family tree can now be submitted from the contribution page, in GEDCOM format up to 500 MB with a progress bar, but also as PDF, spreadsheet or image; the original file is kept and the upload withstands slow connections. Many paths open without an account — testimonies, family memory, tree, document submission, candles and tributes — login being required only at the moment of validating or transmitting. The news page welcomes a living feed, "The application grows", which lists the corpus milestones by pillar, the languages, the new countries reached and the attendance records; the corpus growth curves are carried over on the statistics page. It is also possible to apply as an expert from each field, and lineage narratives now weave in the values proper to each family.

Thirty-six references on deportation, the camps and testimonies join the bibliography, accompanied by four thematic files and two enrichments, as well as notices on the deportation camps and on the Natanson and Smulevic families. A Great Book, "The deportation of the Jews of France", is published in nine chapters, completed by an interactive table of convoys. Another Great Book, "The paragraph of shame", deals with the Jews and the Norwegian Constitution from 1814 to 1942. The colour PDF of the Great Books is repaired, and the search no longer stumbles on the words "les" and "leurs".

The site welcomes Hindi as its twelfth language, then Arabic as its thirteenth, with right-to-left display and translated interface. A press release is published, accessible from the footer, available in thirteen languages and saveable as PDF. Printing, PDF and listening to the narrations are now reserved for members, while printing and ordering extend to all book categories. Each Great Book carries an action bar — enrich, print, space, order — at the top as at the bottom, and a grouped summary of the Great Books is sent every six hours.

The member and administration dashboards have been visually reworked, with more legible figures and the statistics moved to the top of the page; a section gathers the proposals for Great Books. The login page now offers the password and the email link side by side, and the authentication emails carry the logo and a more welcoming wording. A campaign aimed at the 648 subscribers without an account is ready, but has not been sent. The search finally accepts several words on subject pillars.

The citation markers that appeared in the body of the Great Books are hidden when reading, punctuation included. When printing, scholarly transliterations display correctly instead of illegible characters. A "Follow this book" button allows one to leave an address and be notified at each enrichment; enriching a lineage regenerates its chapters. Login without a password, by link sent by email, makes its entrance, and drop-down menus are at last visible in Hebrew.

Archive items now display the images attached to them, gathered in an "Illustrations" gallery. The text contained in items in Word format is extracted and joins the corpus. The contribution form now accepts testimonies and family objects, and the collective registration form presents the name and address already filled in for logged-in persons.

A new wave of imports from Wikidata adds twenty-nine figures and twenty-five places, including birth towns, and eight sourced lineages complete the Toledano series. Archival items now have readable addresses, with the old addresses continuing to redirect to them. The display of non-Hebrew texts has been fixed: they appear left to right, at full width, with their paragraphs preserved.

Each Great Book now displays its bibliography, and figures are interspersed within the body of the text. Accepted documents are read automatically, attachments included, and feed the Great Books enrichment queue, including those devoted to a subject; curated books can be protected against any further enrichment, and a re-translation follows each generation or enrichment. The dashboard presents your lineages in two columns, paternal and maternal, with a Coordinator badge and the possibility of becoming one on each lineage; the coordinator's tasks are gathered in the coordination area. "Manuscripts" become "Archival items" in all eleven languages, and the upload accepts new image and spreadsheet formats, with the drop zone indicating which ones are accepted.

The Great Books of the Pinto and Corcos families have been created, three others are added along with the enrichment of the Abouhatsira, the Toledano Great Book has been restructured into eight chapters, and that of the Encaoua has been imported from encaoua.org. Sixty-eight families have been enriched and forty-three Moroccan patronymics created after Laredo, "Les noms des Juifs du Maroc"; eight Moroccan community-towns have been enriched, as well as "Les Juifs de Debdou" after the Yiḥes Debdou, and Safi together with one hundred and twenty-seven rabbis after the Tanji Encyclopaedia. The bibliography becomes consultable in all languages and its references now appear in the general search, each work receiving a half-page summary. The Great Books can be printed in colour and downloaded as PDF, with a cover bearing the variants of the patronymic and the date of edition; the search now tolerates typing errors in family names, and the upload accepts Word, text, .md and .html documents.

The Great Books welcome two new chapters, "Notable figures" and "Works & texts". The interface is now available in Chinese, the pilgrimage map counts sixteen additional tsadikim, and a "Description" page has been added to the menu. The submission form is open to all, an account being required only at the moment of validation; the login gains a button to show or hide the password. Several security measures have been taken, including the scanning of uploaded files and the closing of access points that had no reason to be open.

Genealogical files in GEDCOM format can now be imported, with the individuals and families they contain. The site now describes more precisely what it publishes — organisation, articles with their citations, dates and authors, and the corpus itself as a data set — and the Zakhor entity is linked to its Wikidata page. A "Cite / link this page" block has been added to the Great Books, accompanied by a /links page and a kit intended for partners. The passage of artificial intelligence robots is tracked in the statistics.

An invitation letter to the Collective is now sent every day, and an administration page makes it possible to follow the list, the statuses and the history of sendings, indicating who has become a member. The dashboard offers everyone a "Tasks" window adapted to their role, in the form of a checklist roadmap, and a "Write the Great Book" button appears on the family name line. The narration has been fixed: the English-accented "Introduction" and the silences have disappeared, and the voice no longer cuts out mid-reading. An A–Z directory of families has been opened and added to the site map.
