Accessibility Statement
Last updated: October 25, 2026
Our Commitment
"Kesher Kasher" attaches great importance to making the service accessible to the entire population, including people with disabilities. We invest effort so that the website and the admin area are usable, clear and convenient for everyone, in the spirit of Israel's Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Service Accessibility Adjustments) Regulations, 5773-2013.
Accessibility Level
The site was made accessible under Regulation 35 of Israel's accessibility regulations and the Israeli standard IS 5568 ("Guidelines for Web Content Accessibility"), which adopts the WCAG 2.0 guidelines at Level AA. In practice the site is checked against the current version of the guidelines, WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Accessibility is built into the site's own code.
Legal status. The operator is registered as an exempt dealer (osek patur), and under Regulation 35F of the accessibility regulations is exempt from the duty to make internet services accessible. The accessibility described in this statement is provided by choice and out of commitment, not by obligation - and any defect found will be fixed.
Built-in accessibility - no accessibility overlay
We deliberately chose not to install an "accessibility widget" or a floating third-party accessibility menu (overlay). Such components are not required by IS 5568 and are not a substitute for real accessibility - the accessibility community in Israel and worldwide, as well as assistive-technology users, recommend avoiding them, because they can actually interfere with the screen reader or with the accessibility preferences the user has already configured. Instead, accessibility is built directly into the code: semantic HTML, adequate color contrast, and full keyboard and assistive-technology support. This lets each user rely on their own browser and operating-system accessibility settings, with no intermediary software layer.
Accessibility Measures on the Site
- Fully semantic HTML structure, with a correct heading hierarchy and defined landmarks, in both the Hebrew (RTL) and English (LTR) versions.
- A "skip to main content" link at the top of every page.
- Full keyboard navigation, including a clearly visible focus indicator on links, buttons and form fields.
- A visible pause/play control for the live demo on the home page - a single click stops all automatically changing content.
- Color-contrast ratios that were checked and meet Level AA requirements.
- Alternative text (alt) for meaningful images and graphic elements, and clear labels for every form field.
- Status changes and error messages are announced to screen readers (aria-live / role="alert") in the admin area.
- Support for the "reduced motion" preference (prefers-reduced-motion) - animations are disabled for users who requested this in their operating system.
- Text that can be enlarged through the browser up to 200% without loss of content or functionality, and a layout that adapts to narrow screens.
- The information pages are JavaScript-free and do not depend on loading external resources.
Known Limitations
We prefer honesty over sweeping promises, so we want to spell out the following limitations:
- Accessibility is checked in code, with automated tools and with keyboard testing, and not by an external certified accessibility auditor, so we do not present a signed conformance certificate. Screen-reader checks (NVDA, VoiceOver) are made selectively, and we keep extending them. The latest check, on October 25, 2026, ran an automated WCAG 2.1 AA audit (axe-core) on the home page, the terms, privacy and accessibility pages, contact, FAQ, the free lane, the admin sign-in page, the testimonials page and the English home page; three defects were found and fixed.
- New components under development or recently added content may not yet be fully accessible. We work continuously to identify and fix such gaps.
- Part of the service is received inside the user's own mailbox (Gmail, Outlook, etc.). The mail environment itself - including automatic translation bars or other tools of the mail provider - is outside our control.
If you encounter an inaccessible component - we would very much appreciate you letting us know. We will acknowledge the report and fix a confirmed defect promptly, and in any case within 60 days of the report, as the regulations require.
Accessibility Coordinator and Inquiries
Ran into a difficulty? Have a suggestion for improvement? You can contact the service's accessibility coordinator:
- Email: info@kesher-kasher.co.il (please mention "accessibility" in the subject line).
We will do our best to respond to every inquiry within a few business days and to fix any issues found as soon as possible.
Statement Date
This statement was last reviewed and updated on October 25, 2026, after an accessibility review and fixes on the site. It is reviewed at least once a year and whenever the site changes materially.
