Weighs about as much as a paperback. Folds down to about 2 inches thick. Holds your full-size Gemara without complaint.
The Amud Shtender was built for the way people actually learn: a tallis bag on the way to shul, a desk for Daf Yomi at work, a kitchen counter for the sefer you'll come back to after dinner. Most foldable shtenders are flimsy metal that feels disposable, or solid wood that's too bulky to carry around. We wanted to make something for you with the elegance of a desk piece and the portability of a notebook.
The working folding mechanism is 3D-printed as part of the body, one continuous piece, with no separate hardware to rattle loose or wear out. It locks at multiple angles for sitting or standing, and the print process lets us create geometry that traditional manufacturing can't.
Classic. Quiet and clean. A simple form in a single solid color. Pairs with any space.
Custom Classic. (+$10) Select a custom pasuk, name, or phrase of your choosing to be engraved on your Shtender. Great for personalized gifts.
Mishnah Art. (+$30) Six tiles, six sedarim: Zeraim, Moed, Nashim, Nezikin, Kodashim, Taharot, each illustrated in its own colored panel along the sides. A piece for the Mishnah Yomi enthusiast in your life, or someone who signs up for every Mishnah siyum they hear of. Made for siyum gifts, bar mitzvah gifts, and desks that get used.
Custom Art. (additional fee varies) We are still developing more art themes for the Amud Shtender, but if you have an idea you'd like to see us make into a reality, contact us at questions@atidjudaica.com and let's make it happen!
