The Good Jew app is great for anyone interested in learning a little
more about Judaism and Jewish history and customs. We focus on breadth of
knowledge, combining several app concepts into one neat package. There
is a news feed to the Jerusalem Post, Haaretz, and the Forward, updating the reader on developments in Israel and the world, a
Wisdom section with Pirkei Avot and Kabbalah, a Prayer section with an
overview of religious texts, common blessings with Hebrew and English
text, an overview of the holidays with associated blessings, a dynamic
feed to weekly sermons (Parsha), and the Psalms of David. We have a
calendar section with a 10 year listing of Jewish holidays and the
current date in the Hebrew calendar. There’s a glossary with hundreds
of Yiddish terms and definitions as well as biographies of 40+
individuals from Biblical, Middle-Ages, and Modern eras. Hopefully,
with a little knowledge distilled onto your mobile device, you'll be
one or two taps away from being a Good Jew.
