Eichah (Lamentations) (v. 2.0)

(обновлено 2012-08-22)

Eichah (Lamentations) cries out through time, engulfing the reader in the loss of a city and her people. This ancient poem transcends history, connecting the human tragedy with a call to remember, and to renew faith. The fully pointed Hebrew text is accompanied by a classic English translation.

The Eichah (Lamentations) app provides the full Hebrew text, with vowels and cantillation marks, of Megillat Eichah, with an English translation based on the translation done by the Jewish Publication Society in 1917. We have updated the English text to replace thee and thou, hast and didst, and other similar archaisms. The app also includes background and descriptive materials about Eichah, its liturgical use on Tisha b'Av (Ninth of Av), and related customs.

The text of Eichah can be viewed with Hebrew and English side-by-side (in either portrait or landscape mode), or in Hebrew or English only. The text is laid out with Hebrew verse numbers for the Hebrew text and regular numbers for the English text. You can view any chapter using the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen, and then scroll to any verse in the chapter. When both Hebrew and English are displayed together, the scrolling stays synchronized verse by verse.

The text can be resized (seven sizes), and provides exceptional readability on any screen, whatever the resolution. Use the menu to change the font size.

A calendar function displays the Gregorian date of Tisha b'Av for any year from 1900 onward. Tap the calendar icon on the main screen to open the calendar function. Turn the year digits to choose a year. Tap the social icon on the main screen to share a message about Tisha b'Av with your friends.

Not a Siddur has the full Hebrew text of exactly the tefilot (prayers) in the Ashkenaz tradition that you need during your busy day. While you are on the go, these prayers add sacred moments to a day filled with work and responsibilities.

Not a Siddur includes:

- Shacharit & Mussaf (Morning Prayer and Mussaf for Rosh Chodesh and Chol haMoed) [in-app purchase USD .99]
- Mincha (Afternoon Prayer)
- Maariv (Evening Prayer)
- Kriat Shema al haMita (Bedtime Shema)
- Tefilat haDerech (Wayfarer's Prayer)

- Berachot Shonot (Various Blessings)
- Sefirat haOmer (Counting the Omer)

On phones, you can reduce distractions by setting the ringer mode from within the app.

With the minyan/no-minyan mode for Shacharit & Mussaf, Mincha, Maariv, and Birchat haMazon, you can choose the appropriate text for praying with or without a minyan (prayer quorum). With the Date function, you can view today's Hebrew date, along with information about the day's Jewish observances, so you can include prayers for specific occasions.

The main screen is framed by a colorful border that changes throughout the day, reflecting daylight and nighttime hours. Even if you are indoors, you will have a connection to the cycles of the natural world.

The Hebrew text is rendered using Hebrew in Hand technology. The Hebrew in Hand Traditional font offers exceptional readability at any screen resolution. You can choose from eight font sizes using the menu. The text reflows to accommodate any screen size, in either portrait or landscape orientation. To help you keep your place when the screen orientation is switched or the font size is changed, the text reformats with the same part of the text showing on the screen.

All Hebrew texts have accurately placed nekudot (vowels). Additionally, the text includes “expandable sections” for various portions of prayers, which can be opened and read if desired, or quickly skipped without excessive scrolling. For example, there is an expandable section for Al haNissim (On the Miracles) in the Amidah, which is said only on Chanukah and Purim.

Ma Nishtana (v. 1.0)

(обновлено 2011-11-02)

Get ready for the Passover seder by learning to read the Ma Nishtana in Hebrew! Now the robot in your Android(TM) device can help you learn how to pronounce each word of the Ma Nishtana, in the Sephardic robotic style. (Okay, we just made that up.) In no time at all, you'll be reading the Ma Nishtana better than a robot!

The robot voice was produced by the Text-to-Speech system for Android devices. It has a vaguely American accent. The text of the Ma Nishtana is in the Ashkenaz tradition.

The Hebrew text is displayed with the Hebrew in Hand Traditional font. The text is sized to fit your screen, and it is clear and easy-to-read. All vowels (nekudot) are accurately placed. (Would a robot expect less?)

Study each section by tapping a word to hear it. Then say the word by yourself. Use the play button to listen to each section in its entirety, and follow the reading as each word is highlighted. This app reinforces the right-to-left directionality for Hebrew reading.
